Abstract:

This volume is a new, revised version of the long out-of-date volume
published in the former Institute of Eskimology's internal publication
series (Copenhagen University). The new version is with English texts
(and does not include the Danish translations of the original
version). Besides the thematic dictionary, a succinct description of
the grammar plus a sample text (with translation) is added. The format
of the thematic section is parallel to that for East Greenlandic in
Robbe & Dorais (1986), which also contains West Greenlandic
equivalents. In this way the lexicons of the three major dialects of
Greenland can be directly compared. The Inuktun dialect is both
conservative and innovative, having been isolated for long periods in
the past. It is now endangered and facing encroachment from the
majority West Greenlandic dialect (the basis of the written language
of Greenland).
