Full textThis study is a synchronic description of tunumiisut, an eskimo dialect spoken in the district of ammassalik (eazst coast of greenland). It is the first carried out since w. Thalbitzer's study of 1921 and is founded on a field-corpus collcted between 1985 and 1991 ; it adopts a functional approach. Examples are taken from linguistic questionnaires and also from a spoken text presented using different levels of transcription. The test of frequency, both in lexis and in discourse, is widely used to complement phonological, syllabic analysis, and the studyof phonemic combinations and of work classes. Results are given in histogram form. Phonemes are defined by their distinctive features within a system which combines features of vowel length and of consonant tension. Special attention is given to phonetic realisations in discourse, and to the treatment of loan words. The morphophonological phenomena, which are complex in all eskimo dialects, are analysed in detail. Word classes are defined according to their combinatorial and collocational possibilities rather than according to semantic criteria. The question of verb-noun opposition and the question of verb classes are treated in detail. The classification of the numerous derivational affixes is based on morphosyntactic criteria. The function of so-called "ergative" and "antipassive" utterances is reexamined, as are the relations between the morphosyntactic constraints and the semantic constraints which determine their use

Full textLiteracy practices in Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut, and Igloolik, a smaller community located in the northern Baffin region, illustrate the daily management of bilingualism by the speakers of the new territory. From the learning of syllabics to social networking sites, a large range of individual experiences is discussed. They contextualize linguistic attitudes, which determine language choice according to the mode of expression. The marginality of Inuit language literacy is readily perceived in this portrait of practices, regardless of the vitality that the language may show orally. These limitations on the expansion of Inuktitut, in all possible domains of use, weaken the balance of an unavoidable complementary relationship with English. A study of the linguistic situation in Greenland shows a different reality, which raises several questions. Dialect diversity, lived experiences of urbanization, economical dynamics and identity mobilizations all have an influence on literacy practices. Conclusions are then drawn about the promotion of the Inuit language. Keywords: syllabic literacy, Nunavut, Inuit language.

Full textUsing North American anthropology and European ethnolinguistics in a combined approach, this thesis studies Inuit neological activity undertaken in concerted action, called taiguusiliurniq. The first part examines diachronically the relations of power as regards language maintained over centuries between the Inuit of Eastern Arctic Canada and explorers, whalers, merchants, missionaries and finally with the administration; all of these making up the background on which arose the professions of interpreters and translators working with Inuktitut, along with the early days of institutionalized neology. The second part deals with the emergence of the terminology specific to the public sphere and to the challenges of its standardization in legal, technical, linguistic and cultural terms. The last part offers a careful examination of this terminology, fueled by data extracted from the creation of a lexicon and by a detailed description of a terminology development workshop. In a synthetic format, recurrent verb and noun roots along with affixes are highlighted, as well as choices regarding modes of designation, and the current challenges of Inuit language as a specialized language in a context where speech plays a part in the perpetuation of the relations of power and authority as regards language. Developed as a matrix, the trilingual analytical lexicon (Inuktitut-French-English) placed in the appendix is designed as an analytical tool meant to feed the lexicological reflection that Nunavut Inuit language professionals are engaged in. Keywords: Inuit, Inuktitut, ethnolinguistics, neology, lexicology, speech, authority, power, Nunavut, Canadian Arctic

Full textThe study assumes that a typology of language should not be based on the particular characteristics of words in sentences, but rather on the structure and the functioning of the mechanisms, hidden in one's mind, which allow the emergence of the words. The author first tries to construct a theoretical model of the mechanisms responsible for the production of woods in French. His analysis, which concerns simple as well as complex words made up of different lexical constituents, reveals that the mental construction of the words in this language is ensured by a limited number of specific operators, and that it is realized instantaneously according to an order which is the opposite of the order of emergence of the words spoken. The same analysis, applied to the eskimo language, reveals that this systematical organization is not universal. The construction of the eskimo words relies indeed on a mechanical structure which is not as highly specialized as it is in French and which requires therefore more time to operate than it does in our language. Through his demonstration the author tries to point out a certain number of possible differences in the functioning of the human language

Full textThis is a work of ethnoscience, devoted to the study of the zoological knowledge and representations of the iglulingmiut. It attemps to describe the way in which these canadian inuit see the animal world. Its starting point was an inventory of all the animal-types recognized by iglulingmiut culture. These were then identified according to a scientific taxonomy, while all possible ethnozoological data concerning them were being gathhered. An analysis of various lay and ritual practices and forms of discourse is complemented by a morphosemantic analysis of lay and sacred zoological vocabulary, which is helpful for revealing underlying concepts. It thus becomes possible to compare the linguistic and extralinguistic meaning conveyed by each category of animals. The ethnozoological material is presented in the from of an encyclopedic dictionay : an article with as many subdivisions as there are vernacular categories is devoted to each animal-type. The broad categories are presented, not according to a scientific view, but according to the indigenous classification

Full textThis thesis proposes an analysis in Harmonic Serialism of a cross-morpheme consonant gemination process in West Greenlandic. Central considerations to the analysis are surface restrictions on geminate consonants as well as general consonant behavior at morpheme boundaries. The gemination process at hand involves regressive consonant assimilation when a consonant-initial affix is introduced to consonant-final stem. This operates alongside a process of stem-final consonant deletion, with both processes serving as mutually exclusive strategies to prevent heterorganic consonant clusters from surfacing in West Greenlandic. While the distribution of these processes is not surface-apparent, it is explained through the proposal of unattached moras that function as triggers for assimilation. Additionally, the analysis implements a set of operations that impose restrictions on the output forms of geminate consonants and establishes a formal relationship between these output forms and their position within a morpheme. The objective of this thesis is to propose an example of how a more modern, unified analysis of West Greenlandic grammar could be modeled in Harmonic Serialism. While the majority of earlier works on West Greenlandic phonology are either purely descriptive in nature or involve rewrite rules that cannot share a formal relation or output goal, this thesis proposes an approach within a serial, constraint-based framework as a viable alternative.
