The PhD project will be a study of language contact between Barkly Kriol, Mudburra and Jingulu. The PhD student will be expected to undertake substantial fieldwork in Elliott in the Northern Territory, and will also have to opportunity to participate in the compilation of a Mudburra dictionary and an ethnobiology.
