This project aims to investigate differences between languages in how events are described. Do these linguistic differences relate to differences in how people think? And how does the relationship between the way people think and talk about events develop throughout childhood? The project focuses on the Indigenous languages Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara with a comparison to English. It expects to significantly improve our understanding of event cognition as well as how children learn Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara. The project also intends to provide valuable materials for use in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) lands to assist in maintaining their traditional languages while also improving access to English.

这个项目旨在调查不同语言在描述事件的方式上的差异。这些语言差异与人们思维方式的差异有关吗？人们思考和谈论事件的方式在整个童年时期是如何发展的？该项目侧重于土著语言Pitjantjatjara和Yankunytjatjara与英语的比较。它有望显著提高我们对事件认知的理解，以及儿童如何学习pitjantjatjhara和yankunytjatjhara。该项目还打算为Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara （APY）地区提供有价值的材料，以帮助维护他们的传统语言，同时改善英语的使用。
