Abstract:
Inuktitut is the official name of the language of the Inuit, as it is
spoken in the Canadian Arctic, in Nunavut Territory, where it has the
status of an official language, and Arctic Quebec. Inuktitut is learned as
first language by young children and spoken by approximately 30.000
speakers as mother tongue. It is a polysynthetic language, exhibiting full
morphological productivity, not restricted to what might be thought of as
'word formation'.
This sketch grammar focuses on synthetic processes, their range and
capacities as being essentially grammatical in nature, creating full
propositions, meta level utterances such as indirect speech and as sole
means to establish a coherent discourse.
Inuktitut wird in der kanadischen Arktis, im Territorium Nunavut und in
Arctic Quebec, von ca. 30.000 Menschen gesprochen und steht in einem
Varietätenkontinuum mit den benachbarten Sprachen der Familie
?Eskimo-Aleut", deren Verbreitungsgebiet sich von Ostgrönland bis zur
Nordostspitze Asiens erstreckt.
Inuktitut ist eine polysynthetische Sprache und zeichnet sich durch
uneingeschränkte morphologische Produktivität und Komplexität aus. Die
vorliegende grammatische Skizze richtet ihr Augenmerk vorrangig auf diese
synthetischen Prozesse, die sich keineswegs auf lexikalische Produktivität
im Sinne einer ?Wortbildung' beschränken, sondern weitestgehend grammatisch
konfigurierende Prozesse umfassen. Ausführlich behandelt werden auch die
Kapazitäten der extrem differenzierten Flexionsparadigmen, insbesondere der
Verbalflexion, die vollständige Propositionen konstituiert und durch die
allein ein kohärenter Diskurs gewährleistet wird.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your
financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny.
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
