Project

Development of full dictionary apps for five indigenous languages from the Princess Charlotte Bay region (Cape York Peninsula, Australia)

The goal of this project is to develop full dictionary apps for five strongly threatened indigenous languages from the Princess Charlotte Bay region (Cape York Peninsula, Australia). Based on 15 years of field and archive work in this region, I developed lexical databases for Umpithamu (Middle Paman), Umbuygamu, Lamalama and Rimanggudinhma (Lamalamic) and Flinders Island Language (unclassified Paman). These databases have never been an end in themselves, but an intermediate step in my research into phonology, morphosyntax and discourse structure of these languages.
