Yarning: The language and culture magazine, (formerly Defence Linguist Magazine) is an international quarterly magazine, published by the Australian Department of Defence.[1] The feature editions focus on language, linguistic experiences, and the intersections of culture and communication.[2][3][4]

In June 2023, the magazine received an endorsement from J. Angelo Berbotto[5] the President of the Australian Institute of Interpreters and Translators.[6] Notable contributors to the magazine have included Australian award-winning actor, Jack Thompson, AM,[7] and the Australian Chief of the Defence Force, General Angus Campbell, AO, DSC.[8]

In October 2023, Chief of Personnel, Lieutenant General Natasha Fox, AO, CSC, signed on as the publications official Patron.[9][10]

History

[edit]

The magazine was founded by Paul Thomson in July 2022.[10] Originally titled Defence Linguist Magazine,[11] the name was changed to its current name after running a competition in the first edition.[12][13]

The term 'yarning' is an Australian English word used to describe the sharing of knowledge and stories in a culturally respectful way with a view to building relationships.[14][15]
