Abstract:

West Greenlandic Eskimo, a part of the Eskimo-Aleut language family spoken 
all across the Arctic, is primarily found among the Native peoples of central 
west Greenland. In this highly nuanced study of West Greenlandic, linguist 
Anna Berge examines how the speaker's role affects syntactic structures within 
discourse. Also included are transcripts of conversations with fluent Native 
speakers, providing a practical context in which to examine these grammatical 
questions.

This study was the winner of the prestigious Mary R. Haas Award, presented 
annually by the Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the 
Americas, the highest award given in the study of Native languages.
