It seems to be a bibliographic listing (but in the days of <a href=\"http:\/\/scholar.google.com\/\">Google Scholar<\/a> and other such resources it may already be redundant?).

A closer reading of the blurb reveals that the volume is really about English and post contact languages and not about &#8216;Language&#8217;. &#8220;Comprehensive coverage is given to the other languages &#8211; indigenous, European, Asian, and contact languages &#8211; that have emerged throughout the history of these nations, especially Kriol, Torres Strait Creole, Norfolk and Maori English.&#8221;<br \/>\nIt is rather badly edited so that in a couple of minutes you can see:  Tabourt-Keller is there alongside Tabouret-Keller, Smolicz, JerzyJ\/Jerzy, J., Joseph\/Josef Schmied, Jeanne\/Jeane Roiln-Ianziti, R.Dixon,  Richard M.W. Dixon, , Robert M.W. Dixon, Ignazio\/Iganzio Badelli.<br \/>\nSo, if you wanted a comprehensive guide to literature on Australian languages you may have to wait for OZBIB II.
