Public Lecture: The Genius of Australian Indigenous languages, and why they are important for all of us

Asia and the Pacific / / Sydney
Parade Theatre, NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Art), 215 Anzac Parade, Kensington

In this public lecture, Professor Rachel Nordlinger will discuss some of her favourite features of Australia's Indigenous languages – ranging from unusual grammatical properties, to intriguing word meanings, to the questions they raise about how languages are learned and processed. In doing so, she will reflect on the true genius of these languages and argue that, as well as being important to the communities who speak and treasure them, they should be valued by all of us who are interested in what it means to be human.
