- Summary
- "In an Aboriginal children's story from Central Australia, small creatures such as dragon lizards and ground-dwelling insect larvae known as ant lions convey rich symbolic meanings. This article analyzes the story, song, and graphic schema of a story that reinforces the dangers of being alone and the unpredictable incarnations of malevolent characters. By comparing versions in several Arandic languages, we elucidate the network of social and cultural meanings of the story and the poetic and artistic devices used to express them. We suggest that formalized children's play routines such as this story perform an important role in socialization in Arandic society." [author's abstract]; includes elder sister song text and description of spatial themes in story; considers shortcomings of applying English vocal genre terms to those found in Western Desert Communities
