• Resumen

  • Language contact research in Australia has been greatly stimulated by visits from international leaders in the field. In the 1960s, it was very unusual for overseas scholars of note to visit Australia. Probably the first in our field was Einar Haugen, who came in 1982 and was, incidentally, the first person to give evidence before the Senate Committee exploring the need for a national languages policy for Australia.
