This collection results from a Linguistic Field Methods course taught in the Department of Linguistics and Applied Linguistics at the University of Melbourne in the first semester of 2003, which focused on the Golin language, and was made possible by the helpful and insightful participation of Chris Kia Aina, a speaker of Golin residing in Melbourne while studying at Victoria University of Technology. Participants in the course were third and fourth year undergraduate students in linguistics. The enthusiasm of the participants was such that we decided to put together a collective volume, even though it goes without saying that after a mere semester’s work on any language the findings must be regarded as provisional only. Nonetheless, there is so little available on Golin – basically just Gordon Bunn’s (1974) grammar, written in a tagmemic framework, plus a short article by Gordon and Ruth Bunn on Golin phonology – that we thought it would be useful to make these materials more widely available. Two students in the course – Robyn Loughnane and Hywel Stoakes – were able to take their investigations further by making aspects of Golin the focus of their fourth-year minor honours theses. In addition, it was possible for a number of the authors here to do some further checking of selected details with Kia in the eighteen months between the end of the Field Methods course and the publication of this collection. Some of the materials here are pdf versions of this book: Nicholas Evans, Jutta Besold, Hywel Stoakes and Alan Lee (eds) 2005. Materials on Golin: Grammar, texts and dictionary.
