	Arrernte (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arrernte (or Aranda) is a language or group of closely related languages spoken in and around Alice Springs (Mparntwe in Arrernte) in the Northern Territory, Australia.
		Some linguists believe that Arrernte should properly be analysed as having a VC(C) syllable structure, with obligatory codas and no onsets.
		In most primary schools in Alice Springs, students (of all races and nationalities) are taught Arrernte (or in some cases Western Arrernte) as a compulsory language, often alongside French or Indonesian languages.

	Labialisation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eastern Arrernte is a language with labialisation at all places and manners of articulation.
		In the Northwest Caucasian languages as well as some Australian languages rounding has shifted from the vowels to the consonants, producing a wide range of labialized consonants and leaving in some cases only two vowels.
		This appears to have been the case in Ubykh and Eastern Arrernte, for example.

	Arrernte language, alphabet and pronunciation
		Arrernte is part of the Arandic group of the Pama-Nyungan languages, and is spoken by about 3,000 people in central Australia, particularly in Alice Springs (Mparntwe).
		There are five dialects of Arrernte, Central Arrernte (spoken in Alice Springs), Eastern Arrernte (spoken to the east of Alice Springs), Western Arrernte (spoken to the west of Alice Springs), Pertame/Southern Arrernte and Lower Arrernte.
		Arrernte is taught to all students in the primary schools of Alice Springs.

		Eastern Arrernte people celebrated the return of title to their traditional lands in the North and North West Simpson Desert on 19 August when some 23,000 square kilometres of land was handed back by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs Minister Robert Tickner.
		Eastern Arrernte people have been waiting for the return of their land since 1980 when the original claim for the area was first lodged.
		"Eastern Arrernte people were subjected to typically horrific Government regulations since first contact with Europeans," CLC Director Tracker Tilmouth said.

	Vowel
		Spanish and Modern Greek, for example, have this vowel system; Latin had a similar system with the addition of (unwritten) vowel length; it is for this reason that the Latin alphabet has five vowel letters.
		All known languages have at least two vowels: Abxaz, Margi, Eastern Arrernte, and perhaps some of the Ndu languages contrast only two vowels: /a/ and /ɨ/ in the case of Margi, and /a/ and /ə/ for the others, with significant allophony.
		There have been proposals to reduce the three-vowel inventory of Kabardian to two, one, or even zero vowels (in which case all phonetic vowels would be epenthetic), but most linguists do not believe such analyses are workable.

	Arrernte Culture - Australian Aboriginal
		Arrernte country is rich with mountain ranges, waterholes, and gorges; as a result the Arrernte people set aside 'conservation areas' in which various species are protected.
		Arrernte people maintain a strong presence in Alice Springs, and have formed the Arrernte Council of Central Australia, as well playing a major role in the Aboriginal organisations in Alice Springs.
		There are roughly 1800 speakers of Eastern and Central Arrernte, making it the largest spoken language in the Arandic family, and one of the largest speaking populations of any Australian language.

	Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		On the subclassifcation and semantics of motion verbs in Arrernte David P. Wilkins Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen This paper explores the morphosynactic and semantic properties of motion verbs in Eastern Arrernte (more particularly the Mparntwe and Eastern varieties of Eastern Arrernte spoken by current residents of Alice Springs).
		For the purposes of this exploration, I identify as "motion verbs" all those verbs which can occur in a clause with both an Ablative case-marked Ground and an Allative case-marked Ground, and which entail that the subject of the clause changes location from the 'vicinity' of one Ground to the 'vicinity' of the other.
		Of some interest is the fact that Arrernte has an extremely restricted number of manner of motion verbs, and, textually, manner of motion is rarely explicitly mentioned (or is left underspecified).

		Although the phonetics of allophonic prepalatalisation has been investigated for Eastern Arrernte (Henderson 1998), there is a need to investigate it in the northern Arandic languages/dialects (Kaytetye, Eastern Anmatyerr, Alyawarr), where prepalatalisation leads to phonemic contrasts.
		There is also a need to better understand the foundations of coronal phonemic contrasts and allophonic variation in the Arandic languages, particularly prepalatalisation, in order to be able to formulate a pan-Arandic practical orthography, perhaps by adhering less strictly to phonemic analyses, and taking allophonic and phonetic facts into account.
		Eastern Warlpiri has scattered examples of an apical stop-flap contrast, but the distinction appears not to be phonologized in this dialect (Laughren, 1999; i.e.: a few minimal pairs may be found, but the contrast appears not to be productive).

		Tindale's daily work at the South Australian Museum brought a constant reminder of the public's perception of Aboriginal people during these decades; it is hardly surprising that his commitment to the tribal paradigm grew in response.
		This was so even as the applied anthropology of his academic colleagues in eastern Australia was suggesting that the complexity of Aboriginal social and territorial relationships was hardly amenable to Tindale's ambitiously broad categorisation.
		Despite this, Tindale's carefully sourced data and his commitment to a bibliographic method means that researchers may dismantle and test most of his conclusions, a course rarely open with the work of other ethnographers.

	Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Based on extensive fieldwork undertaken with speakers of Eastern Arrernte and Mparntwe Arrernte who are residents of Alice Springs, in the Northern Territory of Australia, I will discuss the distinct informational contribution of speech and gesture in Arrernte demonstrative utterances which obligatorily require co-speech indexical gestures.
		More particularly, I will discuss how the Arrernte system of manual pointing merges with the Arrernte system of demonstrative terms to produce composite demonstrative signals that are semantically and pragmatically distinct from those of better known European languages.
		The paper concludes with a discussion of the significance of the Arrernte data for a theory of composite signals.

		Access to the Eastern MacDonnell Ranges is via the Ross Highway east from Alice Springs.
		Arltunga is named after a subgroup of the indigenous Arrernte people who have lived in the area for over 20,000 years.

	University of Melbourne ePrints Repository - The socio-historical development of literacy in Arrernte : a case study of ...
		Secondly in the late 1970s and early 1980s writing in Central, Eastern and Western 'Arrernte' was introduced in conjunction with aspirations for Aboriginal self-determination and the advent of bilingual education programs.
		I have sought to explore the acquisition, retention and transmission of Arrernte literacy from the perspective that a description of literacy must take account of the socio-historical context of literacy use and the embeddedness of literacy practices in other social and cultural practices.
		For this reason Arrernte literacy teaching is important, however the expectation that Arrernte literacy can be learnt only through formal teaching does not heed the importance of a social context for meaningful vernacular literacy use, and the role of the family in the acquisition and transmission of literacy practices.

		Recent studies of Eastern Arrernte sites however have seen a number of smaller scale patterns identified that appear to sub-divide the Eastern Arrernte area into at least three areas on the basis of the occurrence of particular and distinctive motif types.
		As the distribution of these motifs overlaps a number of different clan areas, it suggests that adjoining clans held some form of confederation possibly based on ritual and social alliances.
		Thus the socio-cultural use and practice of rock art in Eastern South East Asia, which had been previously attributed to Austronesian influence, should be revised.
