Description

The first thorough study of discourse practices undertaken among Canadian Inuit, this book explores language usage in three communities of the Baffin region of Nunavut. Over five years a team of researchers and students enquired about which languages were spoken by adults and children, Inuit and Qallunaat (non-Inuit), in various contexts.
