Learning to think and talk about events in the APY lands

这个项目旨在调查不同语言在如何描述事件方面的差异。这些语言差异是否与人们思维方式的差异有关？在整个童年时期，人们思考和谈论事件的方式之间的关系是如何发展的？该项目侧重于土著语言Pitjantjatjara和Yankunytjatjara，并与英语进行比较。它有望显著提高我们对事件认知的理解，以及孩子们学习Pitjantjatjara和Yankunytjatjara的方式。该项目还打算提供宝贵的材料，供Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara(APY)土地使用，以协助维持其传统语言，同时也改善获得英语的机会。

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.
