  • Linguistic Landscape, Greenlandic, Danish, Nuuk, Greenland, Signs, Multilingual, Urban, Minority, Indigenous
    The linguistic landscape of Nuuk, Greenland Abstract The purpose of this article is to present and analyse public and private signs in the linguistic landscape of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Nuuk is a trilingual environment including the indigenous language (West Greenlandic), the former colonial language (Danish), and the global language (English). West Greenlandic is a somewhat unusual case among indigenous languages in colonial and postcolonial settings because it is a statutory national language with a vigorous use. Our analysis examines the use of West Greenlandic, Danish, and English from the theoretical perspective of centre vs. periphery, devoting attention to the primary audiences (local vs. international) and chief functions (informational vs. symbolic) of the signs. As the first investigation into the Greenlandic linguistic landscape, our analysis can contribute to research on signs in urban multilingual indigenous language settings. Keywords: linguistic landscape, Greenlandic, Danish, Nuuk, Greenland, signs, multilingual, urban, minority, indigenous 1. Introduction The purpose of our study is to analyse public and private signs in the linguistic landscape of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Scholarly enquiry into the linguistic landscape seeks to ascertain the practices and ideologies relating to the language appearing in public spaces. The public spaces included in this type of analysis consist of official signs (e.g. traffic signs, street names, government notices), private signs (e.g. shop names, private business signs, personal ads), graffiti, food packaging, notes, discarded items, and moving signs on buses or t-shirts (see e.g. see Gorter, 2006; Shohamy & Gorter, 2009; Jaworski & Thurlow, 2010). The dynamic, constantly mediated multimodal linguistic landscape gives space its meaning and interacts with the built environment (Moriarty, 2014a).

  • Arctic Umiaq Line Af Else Thybo Jensen, Konsulent, Arctic Umiaq Line April 2014
    1 Arctic Umiaq Line Af Else Thybo Jensen, konsulent, Arctic Umiaq Line April 2014 Arctic Umiaq Line A/S (AUL) er et passager-og godstransport linje i Grønland. Navnet stammer fra det grønlandske ord for en traditionel inuit båd, konebåden. AUL er et datterselskab af Air Greenland og Royal Arctic Line. Der blev i begyndelsen af kolonisationens tid brugt konebåde af både handelsstationerne og mis- sionen til at komme rundt til fangstpladser og bosteder. Det udviklede sig til at man tog træfartøjer i brug – joller og træbåde, der blev sendt op fra Danmark. Dette udviklede sig hurtigt. Arctic Umiaq Line blev grundlagt i 1774 under navnet Den Kongelige Grønlandske Handel (KGH). I begyndelsen blev den kaldt Den Kongelige grønlandske, islandsk, Finnmark og færøske Handel, men senere var det kun Grønland, det havde monopol på handel og pligt til at bringe forsyninger til/fra Danmark. Man brugte selskabet til at indchartre skibe til sejlads med forsyninger. KGH havde formentlig egne skibe før 1797, men fra den første januar det år, købte Den kongelige Monopolhandel ni skibe af afdøde skibsreder Andreas Bodenhoff enke, Giertrud Birgitte Thosted. KGH havde sit hovedsæde i København, og de næste knap 200 år sejlede skibe til Grønland herfra. I 1972 afgik det sidste skib fra København til Grønland og hvorefter der blev sejlet til Grønlands fra Aalborg. I 1986 overtog Grønlands Hjemmestyre KGH og videreførte det under navnet Kalaallit Niuerfiat (KNI). Året forinden i 1985 udskiltes Royal Greenland (fiskeindhandling) i et selvstændigt selskab og i 1993 omdannedes KNI til flere selvstændige aktieselskaber, som fx Royal Arctic Line og de 2 butikskæder Pisiffik og Pilersuisoq.
