Australia and New Zealand are hosts to hundreds of languages whose interaction is at the heart of Language in Australia and New Zealand. English constitutes the natural center and the full range of writings is covered from 1788 to 2001, including dictionaries and glossaries. Comprehensive coverage is given to the other languages – indigenous, European, Asian, and contact languages – that have emerged throughout the history of these nations, especially Kriol, Torres Strait Creole, and Norfolk. The bibliography also includes onomastics and Australian and New Zealand sign language. Other themes covered are the interaction of English with indigenous and non-English-migrant languages; language maintenance, shift, and loss; psycholinguistic and societal factors; language policies; and educational responses.
