Record #194117:

Determining the semantics of Inuktitut postbases / Conor Cook, Alana Johns.

Title: Determining the semantics of Inuktitut postbases / Conor Cook, Alana Johns.
Author(s): Cook, Conor.
Johns, Alana.
Date: 2009.
Publisher: Amsterdam: John Benjamins
In: Variations on polysynthesis : the Eskaleut languages. (2009.),
Abstract: Examines properties of Inuktitut postbases, affixal morphemes that appear between root and inflection. These morphemes are source of polysynthesis in Inuktitut, since they allow word to expand indefinitely (in principle). Demonstrates that Inuktitut postbases are highly abstract in meaning and argues that this attribute is direct result of their nature as functional elements, which by definition have restricted, non-encyclopedic semantics.
