  • Proto-Inuit Phonology
    * Proto-Inuit Phonology Doug Hitch Independent Scholar Proto-Inuit and the daughter dialects have two non-nasal, non- lateral consonant series, /p t c k q/ and /v ʐ j ɣ ʁ/. The distinctive feature separating these sets has been generally regarded as continuance but voicing is a better candidate. PI *c has been seen as affricate [ts] or [tʃ] but a voiceless palatal stop value [c] better explains the diachronic and synchronic data. PI *ʐ and modern /ʐ/ have received a wide range of phonetic characterizations but a voiced retroflex sibilant value [ʐ] best accounts for the historical and descriptive evidence. Some historical documents and modern descriptions are reassessed. Some suggestions are made for the reconstruction of PI. 1 Introduction The Inuit language family stretches from Big Diomede Island in the Bering Strait to the east coast of Greenland. Probably all of the many intervening dialects have been studied, and while the studies have varying degrees of depth, there is no doubt about the basic identity of the phonemic units for any dialect and there is much known about phonological and morphophonological patterning. With the numerous distinct dialects, and the existence of much historical documentation, the language area offers a rich field for historical linguistics and linguistic typology. In these pages much effort is made towards refining our phonetic understanding of the segments /c/ and /ʐ/ in both Proto-Inuit and the daughter dialects. This information has both diachronic and synchronic implications. It can simplify both descriptions and make them more natural. Also presented here is a fresh look at the distinctive feature specification of the consonants.

  • Module 1: Introduction
    CS 322 Peoples and Cultures of the Circumpolar World II Module 1 Introduction The BCS 322 course was developed between 2002 and 2007 by Heather Exner, Greg Poelzer, Tamara Andreyeva, Kristina Fagan, Heather Harris, Terry Wotherspoon, Nina Vasilieva, Zinaida Ivanova-Unarova, Sardana Boyakova, Liya Vinokurova, Hans-Jørgen Wallin Weihe, Vuokko Hirvonen and Yvon Csonka. Originally, the course included 13 modules. Because of the increasing developments in the Arctic, the BCS Committee decided in 2009 to revise the curriculum and bring these courses up to date. In spring 2013, Marit Sundet from The University of Nordland, as project leader and academic lead, in cooperation with Sander Goes; University of Nordland, Peter Haugseth; UiT – The Arctic University of Norway and Natalia Kukarenko; Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov, reviewed, edited, rewrote and consolidated the original curriculum into 5 modules. The modules were reviewed by Irina Kaznina; Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov in spring 2014. Final reviewer, Diddy Hitchins, Professor Emerita, University of Alaska Anchorage. Contents Course objectives 1 Introduction 2 Critical thinking and research ethics 4 Identity and culture in the North 5 Indigenous languages in the North: How is language connected to identity and culture? 12 Literature 21 Course objectives In this module, the complex issues around the revival of northern cultures and languages will be introduced, and you will be prepared to think about how these issues apply in your home community.

  • Across Inuit Dialects
    Canadian Journal of Linguistics/Revue canadienne de linguistique 56(2): 203–228, 2011 Palatalization and “strong i” across Inuit dialects RICHARD COMPTON and B. ELAN DRESHER University of Toronto 1. INTRODUCTION Proto-Eskimo had four vowels, */i, @,a,u/(Fortescueetal.1994).Theysurvive as distinct vowels in the Yupik branch of Eskimo but, apart from some subdialects of Alaskan Inupiaq, no surface [@]remainsintheInuitbranch.InmostInuitdia- lects, this vowel merged with the reflexes of */i/. However, some Inuit dialects show palatalization after surface [i] corresponding to original */i/, but not after surface [i] corresponding to */@/(Dorais2003:33).Inthesedialectsitistraditionaltodistin- guish between “strong i”, which descends from */i/ and causes palatalization, and “weak i”, which descends from */@/anddoesnot. In the other Inuit dialects the original distinction between */i/ and */@/hasbeen lost. It is interesting that none of these dialects show palatalization. We will show that there is evidence that some of these dialects once had palatalization following */i/; the merger of non-palatalizing */@/with*/i/resultedinthelossofpalatalization in these dialects. It might be expected that there would be a few dialects in which palatalization was generalized to be triggered by every surface [i], but there are no such dialects. Rather, the presence of palatalization must co-occurwith an underlying contrast between /i/ and a fourth vowel. Why is this so? The lack of palatalization in any of the three-vowel dialects is a striking fact that needs to be explained. We propose that the lack of palatalization in three-vowel dialects follows from certain assumptions about contrast and phonological activity. In brief, we argue that the contrastive status of a vowel /i/ in a four-vowel system is fundamentally different from its status in a three-vowel system.
