"OíGrady et al. (1966:26) report near identity between the Barngarla lists recorded by Schürmann (1844) and by OíGrady and Hale (1960), but it is not clear how this result, which does not stand up to scrutiny (including OíGradyís; see below), was obtained. I have compared these two lists anew (with the help of OíGrady and of Jane Simpson, both pers. com.), and the discrepancies are considerable. Table 4 shows the counts for all the lists. The highest retention rate, the 78% (over 116 years) for the OíGrady 100-word list (with 46 attestations), translates to 65% over 200 years. Reversing the reasoning, at this rate of replacement one would estimate that Cook and Banks recorded their list some 70 years before Haviland recorded his, i.e. around 1900. OíGrady and Haleís Barngarla list is now in print (OíGrady 2001: 291-302), and OíGrady gives the total number of words that are comparable between the 1844 and 1960 lists (not broken down according to any standard list) as 78, with 52 (74%) sames: quite similar to the figures in the first three rows of Table 4. The 200-year (extrapolated) values shown here that are directly comparable between Guugu-Yimithirr (Table 2, first two rows) and Barngarla (Table 4, last two rows) are those for the CB list (88% for Guugu-Yimithirr, 35% for Barngarla) and for the OG & CB list (86% for Guugu-Yimithirr, 49% for Barngarla). These figures, if taken to represent retention rates truly, are so far apart as to render the whole enterprise useless. It is reasonably clear, however, that these lists represent two different regional speech varieties. Schürmann recorded his materials at Port Lincoln, just to the south of traditional Barngarla territory, and presumably with speakers of a southern dialect. OíGrady and Hale recorded their list from Harry Crawford (Croft) at Iron Knob, more than 250 kilometres (by air; an enormous distance from the standpoint of the presumable dialect geography of a coastal language) north of Port Lincoln. It is scarcely surprising that, as OíGrady observes (2001: 300), the Barngarla of Iron Knob has lexical resemblances with Kukatha (to its north) and Wirangu (to its west) that Port Lincoln Barngarla lacks, and the figures shown in Table 4 should almost certainly not be taken as reflecting changes in a single dialect." |
