Harris mounted this argument in the context of bilingual education in communities where Aboriginal languages were still relatively strong. By contrast, in situations where Aboriginal languages are being re-awakened, their owners/custodians have been speaking English, and only English, for several generations. Rather than reserving domains of use in the interests of language preservation, there is an imperative to create or carve out domains of use for the re-awakening language and to (re-)establish functions for the fledgling language. This chapter describes such efforts over a thirty-year period for the awakening Kaurna language of the Adelaide Plains in South Australia.en© The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022Kaurna; Re-awakening languages; Domain separation; Formulaic method; Language revivalBook chapter10.1007/978-981-16-8648-1_19647995Amery, R.
