| Description: | Joy Williams Malwagag and Mari Murndanymarri demonstrate how to to locate a hollow log tree containing a beehive. Joy pulls down the tree, which is rotten at the base, splits it open and describes the different parts of the hive (i.e. wax, eggs, honey). Then she removes the wild honey, called kakurl in Iwaidja, with a spoon and a honey mop. | |
| This project documents, in as full a cultural context as is possible, the Iwaidja language of the Cobourg Peninsula, Northern Territory, Australia (Iwaidjan language family, non-Pama-Nyungan), still spoken by around 200 people but under increasing threat from English, as well as recording material from other languages of the region (Marrgu, Ilgar/ Garig, Amurdak and Manangkari) which are all reduced to one or two speakers each. In addition to linguists, the research team will include specialists in ethnomusicology, material culture / archaeology, and social anthropology, and will result in a comprehensive, searchable and browsable sound and video documentation, with Iwaidja transcriptions and subtitles alongside English translations, an Iwaidja dictionary of around 5,000 words, detailed phonetic analysis, and briefer materials on other languages of the area. | ||
| Bio | ||
| Joy Williams Malwagag was born at Jamarldinki (Cape Don) on the Cobourg Peninsula in 1946. She spent the early years of her life there before moving to Minjilang with her mother, Hazel Mamiyarr, in the mid 1950s. Joy grew up in a multilingual community in which her father’s language Iwaidja was dominant. Although Iwaidja became Joy’s first language, her mother consistently spoke to her in Marrku throughout her childhood and youth, and she has thus maintained a good passive knowledge of this language up to the present day. In addition, Joy hasa high level of competency in Mawng, Kunwinjku, and English. In 1969 she started working at the school at Minjilang, became qualified, and has worked there ever since. In the mid seventies she acted as an Iwaidja language consultant with Summer Institute of Linguistics linguists Noreen Pym and Bonnie Larrimore, and has produced books in Iwaidja for the school. More recently she has worked as a language consultant for the Iwaidja Documentation Project and the Minjilang Endangered Languages Publication Project. | ||
