AbstractHistoryArchive Description

J.M. Arthur focuses on the twentieth century when she uses 'word maps' to interpret the relationship between Australian English and Australia the land. Her work 'investigates typical descriptions of Australia - and their implications. Her narrative plots the discrepancies between the words we use and the intrinsic nature of Australia.'
