Funded Activity Summary

Learning to think and talk about events in the APY lands. 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.
