Blake. 330 1 $aPeter Sutton has been at various times, and sometimes simultaneously, a museum-based anthropologist with a foundational role in raising the profile of Australian Indigenous art, an anthropologist and linguist who has made significant ethnographic, analytical and theoretical contributions to both fields, and to the intersection between them, an expert on native title, and a public intellectual. The contributors to More than Mere Words reflect on Sutton's important contribution to linguistics and the study of Australian languages. The first two chapters give a historical perspective on the study of Australia's Indigenous languages. There follows a section on language as a reflection of connection to place, and then a set of essays on language in its socio-cultural contexts, spanning prehistory to the present. The final part of the book charts the consequences of the colonial encounter through a consideration of language endangerment. The volume's title captures both the complexity of languages as systems embedded in their social contexts through space and time, and a sense that this celebration of Peter's life and career cannot simply be read as 'mere words'.--From publisher's website. 606 $aAboriginal Australians$xLanguages$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00794531 606 $aLanguage and culture$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00992135 606 $aAustralian languages$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00821444 606 $aAnthropological linguistics$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00810178 606 $aLanguage and culture$zAustralia 606 $aAnthropological linguistics$zAustralia 606 $aAboriginal Australians$xLanguages 606 $aAustralian languages 607 $aAustralia$2fast 615 7$aAboriginal Australians$xLanguages. 615 7$aLanguage and culture. 615 7$aAustralian languages. 615 7$aAnthropological linguistics. 615 0$aLanguage and culture 615 0$aAnthropological linguistics 615 0$aAboriginal Australians$xLanguages. 615 0$aAustralian languages. 676 $a499.15 702 $aWalsh$b Michael$f1948- 702 $aSutton$b Peter$f1946- 702 $aMonaghan$b Paul 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817548703321 996 $aMore than mere words$94043646 997 $aUNINA
