metadata.value: The article features Aboriginal languages of Australia through a wider sociocultural
  issues and sociopolitical events from a diachronical perspective.
  Although there is a growing literature on multiculturalism and multilingualism
  in contemporary Australia, there are few studies on indigenous languages
  and their social functions throughout a rather short history of Australia as a
  young state in the South Pacific region. This study identifies the aim to focus
  on multi-component and heterogeneous character of national language policy
  and planning of Australia and to translate it into a set of objectives: to reflect
  a social and functional differentiation of indigenous languages; to reveal
  a controversial social attitude of white Australian population towards local
  languages and cultures which tailored in their extermination. The paper adds
  to existing research through a description of a number of issues related to attitudes
  of institutionalized bodies towards Aboriginal languages and cultures
  and their political decisions in the frames of the national language policy development
  by the end of 1980s. Linguistic and historical overviews on indigenous
  peoples, having been collected and presented by enthusiasts: linguists,
  topographers, clergymen and police officers in 19th–20th centuries, cemented
  a sociocultural profile of Australian identity and charted the evolution of attitudes
  towards Aboriginals and their languages. Along the broad continuum,
  the research literature shows a link not only between language and culture but
  also between language and identity. National Language policy in Australia was
  adopted in 1987. Indigenous languages were placed among other groups of
  languages forming a rich palette. Unique ethnic profile of the Australian society
  as well as its linguistic diversity created traumatic controversies in the field
  of the Australian nation self-identification and ambiguous attitude to indigenous
  languages and cultures. The paper also investigates factors that had led to
  extermination and a complete death of the majority of Aboriginal languages.
  Currently, sociologists of language and political circles support language vitality
  and indigenous cultures. They maintain bilingual educational programs at
  schools, publishing primers and glossaries, legends and fairy tales. TV and
  radio broadcasting services support the feeling of being proud to be able to
  speak native indigenous languages in every day interactions, and promote
  their further use as a major means of in-family communication.
