This project aims to document patterns of variation and change in metropolitan Aboriginal English. Since colonisation, English has encroached on Australian languages, and Aboriginal English has emerged as a powerful carrier of ethnic identity. The project will quantitatively study how Aboriginal English storytelling functions cross-generationally, and whether global linguistic innovations are apparent. Exploring these dynamics is key to understanding language change in minority urban communities, and to refining educational programs to suit the needs of Indigenous children and youth. The project expects to inform the implementation of cross-cultural teaching programmes in Australia, helping teachers and curriculum developers to design materials, and to empower Indigenous Australians by documenting how Aboriginal English is changing.

该项目旨在记录大都市原住民英语的变化和变化模式。自殖民以来，英语已经侵占了澳大利亚语言，而原住民英语已经成为种族认同的强大载体。该项目将定量研究原住民英语讲故事的方式，以及全球语言创新是否显而易见。探索这些动力是了解少数城市社区语言变化的关键，并培养适合土著儿童和青年需求的教育计划。该项目预计将为澳大利亚跨文化教学计划的实施提供信息，帮助教师和课程开发人员设计材料，并通过记录原住民英语的变化来增强澳大利亚土著人的能力。
