Project	New Words for New Things: Formal and Substantive Aspects in the Development of the Pitkern-Norf'k Language
Researchers	Professor Peter Muhlhausler

Summary	This project will help consolidate Australia's reputation as a leader in contact language research. It will strengthen Australia's social and economic fabric by involving a small remote community in research on their endangered language, thereby sustaining community cohesion and a sense of identity. The publications arising from the research will have direct applications to language revival, teaching, and cultural tourism as currently promoted by the Norfolk Island Assembly.
