Dharumbal: The language
of Rockhampton, Australia
Terrill, Angela
PL 525
Shorter Grammar Dharumbal
is the language associated with the area around Rockhampton,
in eastern Queensland. Structurally, Dharumbal is in many
ways typical of what are generally known as Pama-Nyungan languages.
It is particularly notable in the extreme conservatism of
its morpho-syntax, while at the same time it has the unusual
feature in this area of a phonemic distinction between voiced
and voiceless stops. This work is based on earlier written
and taped materials on Dharumbal, as well as primary fieldwork
carried out by the author. It aims to be a comprehensive synthesis
of all available information on the Dharumbal language, and
as such is intended to be a useful resource for Dharumbal
people, linguists, and other people interested in the language
of Rockhampton.
