(room t.b.a) The workshop is presented by the Australian Linguistic Society in conjunction with the Native Title Research Unit of the Australian Institute Of Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Studies and with assistance from the National Native Title Tribunal.

Papers are invited on all relevant aspects of native title claims, including but not limited to: * revisiting the issues of the relationships between language, people and country, including the notion of the language group * historical and comparative evidence for the continuity of language in a given area, including * use of historical documentation * issues of contemporary knowledge and use of language * the role of place names and geographical and ecological terms * communication in court and in the preparation of claims, including * communicative styles * interpreting and translation * difficulties in communication * comparison with similar issues in other parts of the world Presentations will be of 30 minutes, including 5 minutes question time. Further information, including a short bibliography, is available at the website (see below). Registration fee to be paid in advance: waged Aus$40, student/unwaged Aus$20 (free to those registered for the main Australian Linguistic Society conference).
