Abstract:The monograph on the North Alaskan dialect of Inupiaq, an Eskimo language, makes a phonological comparison of the two sub-dialects, Barrow and Kobuk. An introductory section outlines basic word structure and standard orthography, and gives an overview of the dialects' phonology. Subsequent sections give an extensive phonological analysis of these patterns and processes: consonant assimilation; assibilation and palatization; and consonant gemination. In general, a synchronic perspective is taken, although some consideration is given to historic factors. Loan words and changes possibly attributable to contact with English are also explored briefly. Contains 54 references. (MSE)
