MARC recordGrammatical structures in Greenlandic as found in texts written by young Greenlanders at the turn of the millennium / Karen Langgård.
| Title: | Grammatical structures in Greenlandic as found in texts written by young Greenlanders at the turn of the millennium / Karen Langgård. |
| Author(s): | Langgård, Karen. |
| Date: | 2009. |
| Publisher: | Amsterdam: John Benjamins |
| In: | Variations on polysynthesis : the Eskaleut languages. (2009.), |
| Abstract: | Discusses examples of change in morphosyntactic structures of possessors and subjects of transitive verb phrases in West Greenlandic. Changes from ergative case to absolutive case are seen in language of young Greenlanders and even in written language. Examples do not, however, correlate with non-complex language or other deficiencies. Changes do not appear to be "language-contact" phenomenon, but may possibly be final stage of shift from ergativity to morphologically nominative-accusative language. |
