Language shift patterns amongst first-generation migrant communities in Australia: 2011–2021
Covid-19 and vaccine health promotion resources in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages
Risk communication during a public health crisis necessitates the provision of accessible, timely and accurate health information to the public. The aim of this research project was to explore the availability and characteristics of COVID-19 and vaccine health promotional materials published in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages. We aimed to identify the strategies used by Aboriginal-led organizations and Departments of Health to imp…
Cross-Cultural Interpreting With Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Patients
The aim of this study is to investigate ways in which interpreting practice in health care settings can be further developed to better facilitate communication with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients. Data used include 15 hours of transcribed audio recording from semi-structured interviews with interpreters and Aboriginal Liaison Officers who discuss their perceived experiences of interpreting in medical settings. They offer insights …
Interpreter and Aboriginal Liaison Officer identity construction and positioning
This study employs small story theory ( Bamberg, 2006 ; Bamberg & Georgakopoulou, 2008 ; Georgakopoulou, 2006 , 2015 , 2017 ) and narrative positioning analysis ( Bamberg & Georgakopoulou, 2008 ) to explore stories that are told by interpreters of Aboriginal languages and Aboriginal Liaison Officers (ALOs) when they discuss how they do their work and the challenges they face when interpreting for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients in …
Trends in Indigenous Language Usage
There has been substantial research into trends in maintenance and shift of community languages among Australian migrants; however, similar studies for Indigenous language usage in Australia are scarce. Studies of language maintenance and shift have tended to focus on language shift across specific languages. In this paper, we report on a study based on census data to identify reports of Indigenous language usage across three census periods; 2001…
Shift in the use of migrant community languages in Australia
In this paper, we first explore the trends in the maintenance of migrant community languages among the first generation migrants and then the socio-economic variation in the shift in use of community languages. Our analysis showed that language shift to English among first generation migrants has not been uniform, with some migrant groups adopting English as a home language at a much faster rate than others. Gender and duration of residence had s…
