This bibliography aims to include all published works on Australiana and Torres Strait Islands languages and linguistics, with the addition of relevant theses. There is a natural watershed in the listing, in that prior to 1959 emphasis is on vocabularies, texts, or songs, whereas for the past 40 years the emphasis is on linguistics and applied linguistics: analysis and comparisons, dictionaries and grammars, surveys, works on bilingual education, language policy, pidgins and crioles and Aboriginal English.
