Mathematical Registers in Aboriginal Languages

Abstract

These are three different ways of requesting money. Although all are grammatically correct, their success would depend not just on how well the information was conveyed, but also how each request respects the relationships among the speaker, the listener and the circumstances. In any language, there are many ways of saying or writing the same thing. However, the one chosen is the one that 'sounds right': that is, it is the one which, in a given situation, best matches the purpose of the communication to the audience, whether listener or reader.
