Australian Creoles
British colonial invasion of the Australian continent has had a substantial and often devastating impact on the lives and livelihoods of the original inhabitants. The story of survival is therefore partly one of linguistic adaptation and innovation. For as invasion, displacement and forced relocation rolled across the continent, the language ecologies were also invaded, disturbed and displaced. English has been inserted into the linguistic landsc…
Disrupting Child Sexual Exploitation
Child sexual exploitation (CSE) is a problem growing exponentially, especially for children living in residential out‐of‐home care, a disproportionate number who are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander. Practitioners supporting sexually exploited children are ideally placed to provide insight into promising ways to exit the abuse. This study aimed to develop a model for exiting children living in residential care from CSE, guided by the rese…

Alyawarr English
This paper explores Alyawarr English, a new contact language spoken in Ipmangker, a remote Alyawarr community of Central Australia. Focusing on language use by children and drawing on a corpus of 50+ hrs of naturalistic video recordings, several aspects of Alyawarr English are examined in detail. The analysis centres on the origins of nominal and verbal morphology, with comparison to the patterns of replication evidenced in other new Australian c…
Multilingual Repertoires at Play
While there is increasing international interest in approaching language analysis with the prism of repertoire, research on repertoire on the Australian continent is still very much in the shadow of "traditional" language-centric documentary work. This paper will explore the question of how users of Australian, English-lexified contact varieties exploit their multilingual repertoires to achieve local, conversation-organizational ends. Drawing upo…
Bilingualism in the Community
Since William Labov established quantitative sociolinguistics as a field of study in its own right, research into the nature and scope of linguistic variation has continued to expand its frontiers
Adaptive Functioning Behaviors for Trauma-Affected Children in the Cambodian Context
Across contexts, the roles and responsibilities for children are shaped by a range of sociocultural factors; thus, a contextually specific exploration of adaptive functioning norms is important in optimizing the acceptability, effectiveness, and sustainability of mental health intervention and community programming. The current study aimed to examine child adaptive functioning behaviors for children in Cambodia, a country faced with continuing re…
