This project seeks to model the structure of words and phrases in three indigenous languages of of central Australia: Anmatyerr, Kaytetye, and Warumungu. The project will advance our understanding of the different ways that words and phrases function as the building blocks of language: how words vary in complexity, and the different ways that they combine to generate higher levels of linguistc structure. The project will preserve Indigenous language heritage and contribute to Indigenous cultural maintenance, a significant factor in advancing Indigenous well-being. The project will generate new insights into language structure that will advance linguistic theory, and inform language teaching and speech processing technologies.

该项目旨在对澳大利亚中部三种土著语言 Anmatyerr、Kaytetye 和 Warumungu 的单词和短语结构进行建模。该项目将增进我们对单词和短语作为语言构建块的不同方式的理解：单词的复杂性如何变化，以及它们组合以生成更高水平的语言结构的不同方式。该项目将保护原住民语言遗​​产，并有助于原住民文化的维护，这是促进原住民福祉的一个重要因素。该项目将对语言结构产生新的见解，从而推动语言理论的发展，并为语言教学和语音处理技术提供信息。
