EDUC5429: Aboriginal Education Sarah Fox 2 Essay 28 April 2014 West Western Australia is an example of a Cultural Group, consisting of the Language Groups Wnjuk, Barlardung, Wardandi and Bibbulman (Forrest, 1998). Language Groups, and smaller Local and Family Groups found within them, have experiences and worldviews based on interactions across time and space (Forrest, 1998). These conceptualise cultural and environmental experiences, and form culture-specific conceptualisations – ideas about events and behaviours – that help Indigenous people interpret the actions, thoughts and behaviours of others (Forrest, 1998; Sharifian, 2003). An example is the shared worldview of focusing on past and present events (rather than future) to create a framework on which Indigenous Australians judge and interpret events and behaviours in contemporary society (Forrest, 1998). Another example is the importance of ‘Family’. Eades (1988) observed that ‘Family’ is a culture-specific conceptual system underpinning Indigenous conceptualisations, such that Indigenous people speak about their culture in terms of family relationships. Family obligations and responsibilities, such as helping siblings and parents, are central to their existence (Eades, 1988). Malcolm (2003) suggests that within Language Groups, home languages of Indigenous Australian people include a diverse range of Indigenous languages, Creoles, and Aboriginal English (Malcolm, 2003). ‘Aboriginal English’ refers to the dialects of English spoken by Aboriginal Australians, and does not include Standard Australian English (Sharifian, 2005). It is a dialect of English with distinct Indigenous characteristics in pronunciations, grammar and semantics (Malcolm, 2003). A feature of Aboriginal English is that it represents Indigenous cultural conceptualisations and experiences, as mentioned above (Sharifian, 2005). Lexical items of the language embody the cultural norms, knowledge and experiences of the people who speak it (Sharifian, 2005). Consequently, Aboriginal English reflects, maintains and creates Indigenous culture and identity, as it embodies Indigenous cultural experiences and conceptualisations that create a connectedness between people through shared meanings (Eades, 1991; Sharifian, 2001; Sharifian, 2005). For example, the narratives of Indigenous children have been found to reflect spiritual experiences and cultural practices (e.g. hunting, travelling) (Malcolm & Rochecouste, 2000; Malcolm & Sharifian, 2002). Furthermore, S harifian (2005) explored the associative responses to a list of everyday words, by Aboriginal and Anglo-Australian students in Perth, Western Australia. Results showed distinctly different associations with particular words of the same English form. This was attributed to the different cultural systems and conceptualisations. Particularly, cultural conceptualisations of Family and community are integral to the Aboriginal students’ associative responses (Sharifian, 2005). Therefore, the word ‘shame’ was associated by the Aboriginal students as being singled out of a group for praise or punishment, whilst
