Abstract:
Australia's Englishes, its indigenous, migrant and contact languages and
wide-ranging language policies are well-known. Based on extensive research,
Census and other data, this book develops a comprehensive and integrative
approach to Australia's language habitat and the transformation of the
indigenous habitats since colonization. Linking social history, linguistic
development and political and educational perspectives of language policy
and planning, it provides a succinct overview of this segment of
Australia's many voices and shows how it relates to Australian English, the
national language.
Gerhard Leitner is Professor of English at the Free University, Berlin.
