This project aims to determine how culture and social diversity interact with landscape in representing physical space in the minds and grammars of speakers of Australian Indigenous languages. The project will conduct the first Australia-wide survey of Indigenous spatial description correlated with landscape, and the first large-scale investigation of diversity in spatial behaviour among individuals within communities. The findings are expected to inform crucial debates on the formative role of landscape in language, and advance our knowledge of human spatial cognition. It will collect completely new experimental and natural data in six endangered languages, with significant benefits for the maintenance of Indigenous languages and cultures.

该项目旨在确定文化和社会多样性如何与景观相互作用，以代表澳大利亚土著语言使用者的思维和语法中的物理空间。该项目将在澳大利亚范围内首次对与景观相关的土著空间描述进行调查，并对社区内个体之间的空间行为多样性进行首次大规模调查。这些发现预计将为关于景观在语言中的形成作用的关键辩论提供信息，并增进我们对人类空间认知的了解。它将收集六种濒危语言的全新实验和自然数据，对于维护土著语言和文化具有重大益处。
