This project investigates the uniqueness of Australian vernacular English from the late 1800s until today. This is an area of vocabulary which most people find fascinating, and yet its formal study has been largely ignored. The project expects to develop a new understanding of Australia’s novel, often entertaining, use of words. Expected project outcomes include a better appreciation of Australian culture and identity, and by employing a new interdisciplinary approach. Benefits of the project include the development of podcasts, educational materials, and publications aimed at building an increased awareness of Australian English and its reflection of Australian culture and values.

该项目调查了从 1800 年代末至今澳大利亚英语白话的独特性。这是一个大多数人都感兴趣的词汇领域，但其正式研究却在很大程度上被忽视了。该项目希望对澳大利亚新颖且常常有趣的词语使用产生新的理解。预期的项目成果包括通过采用新的跨学科方法更好地了解澳大利亚文化和身份。该项目的好处包括开发播客、教育材料和出版物，旨在提高人们对澳大利亚英语及其对澳大利亚文化和价值观的反映的认识。
