Question 1
In Australian Indigenous sociolinguistics, how is a 'Revival Language' (also referred to as a sleeping or reclaimed language) distinguished from a 'Language Maintenance' context?
Correct Answer:
A revival language has no full fluent native speakers remaining and is reconstructed from historical archives, whereas maintenance involves supporting languages currently spoken natively across generations
Question 2
Which historical source provided the primary written documentation for the 1990s reclamation of the Kaurna language of the Adelaide Plains?
Correct Answer:
The 1840 grammar and vocabulary compiled by German missionaries Christian Teichelmann and Clamor Schürmann
Question 3
When analyzing 19th-century German missionary transcriptions of South Australian languages, why does the letter 'g' often represent the velar nasal sound /ŋ/ (as in English 'sing')?
Correct Answer:
German orthographic conventions of the era lacked a standardized 'ng' digraph for word-initial velar nasals, leading recorders to use 'g' or 'ng'
Question 4
In early English archival wordlists of South Australian languages, how did settler recorders typically transcribe dental consonants such as /t̪/ or /n̪/?
Correct Answer:
They frequently used English digraphs like 'th' or 'dh', or failed to distinguish them from alveolar /t/ and /n/
Question 5
Why must language revival researchers critically evaluate potential 'source bias' in historical wordlists compiled by 19th-century pastoralists?
Correct Answer:
Pastoralists primarily recorded vocabulary related to labor, trade, and geography, while neglecting complex kinship, spiritual, and subtle grammatical systems
