Aboriginal English in the global city: Minorities and language change

这个项目旨在记录都市原住民英语的变异和变化模式。自殖民统治以来，英语逐渐蚕食了澳大利亚语言，土著英语已成为民族身份的有力载体。该项目将定量研究土著英语故事是如何跨代发挥作用的，以及全球语言创新是否明显。探索这些动态是理解少数民族城市社区语言变化的关键，也是完善教育计划以适应土著儿童和青少年需求的关键。该项目旨在为澳大利亚跨文化教学项目的实施提供信息，帮助教师和课程开发人员设计教材，并通过记录土著英语的变化来赋予澳大利亚土著居民权力。

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.
