Module description

Many language materials created by linguists and others have technical linguistic descriptions. This can stop language custodians and speakers from getting to the information about their languages. In this course, we will unpack technical language and develop better ways to talk about languages.

LING7014S Language Descriptions is a Shorter Form Credential offered through the School of Languages and Cultures. It is designed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are involved in and have some knowledge of language revitalisation work in their community. It requires 12 contact hours and approximately 10 independent study hours to complete.

In June 2023, this module runs from 26 June to 4 August, including on-campus workshops from 9 to 15 July inclusive. Apply by Saturday, 1 July 2023.
