Hearing the future: supporting Indigenous linguistic diversity

该项目旨在寻找新的方法来支持澳大利亚土著语言的非凡多样性。在阿纳姆地，能够理解但不会说一种语言的能力很普遍，在支持语言多样性方面发挥着至关重要的作用。将使用创新的跨学科方法来检查这种能力，即接受多语言，从而对多语言与语言多样性之间的关系产生新的理解，这对于解决全球土著语言衰落问题至关重要。研究结果将帮助社区、教育工作者和政策制定者制定新的战略，以支持对土著健康和福祉至关重要的澳大利亚土著语言。

This project aims to find new ways to support the extraordinary diversity of Indigenous languages spoken in Australia. In Arnhem Land the ability to understand but not speak a language is widespread and plays a crucial role supporting linguistic diversity. This ability, receptive multilingualism, will be examined using an innovative interdisciplinary methodology, generating new understandings about the relationship between multilingualism and linguistic diversity that are crucial to tackling the global decline in Indigenous languages. The findings will help communities, educators and policymakers develop new strategies to support Australia’s Indigenous languages which are vital to Indigenous health and wellbeing.
