Comments on five articles in The Conversation (Australia) on Indigenous language revitalization

This dataset consists of comments collected from five articles on the topic of Indigenous language revitalization, published on theconversation.com/au between August 2014 and July 2020. The titles, publication date, and URL of each article are listed below. 

The comments presented in this dataset include only first tier comments, i.e., those that are made directly on the article, but excluding comments on those comments and subsequent discussion threads. 

Comments were made in a public forum using both real names and pseudonyms; these have been retained in the dataset. Comments have not been edited in any way, though numbers were added to help distinguish them. 

This data was collated by Dr. Gerald Roche, Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Politics, Media and Philosophy at La Trobe University in October 2020.
