The Language of the Inuit by Louis-Jacques Dorais is shortlisted for the 2010 Canada Prize in the Humanities.
The Aid to Scholarly Publications Program (ASPP), part of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences, presents this prize each year to the best English-language ASPP-supported book in the humanities.
The culmination of forty years of research, The Language of the Inuit maps the geographical distribution and linguistic differences between the Eskaleut and Inuit languages and dialects. Providing details about aspects of comparative phonology, grammar, and lexicon as well as Inuit prehistory and historical evolution, Louis-Jacques Dorais shows the effects of bilingualism, literacy, and formal education on Inuit language and considers its present status and future.
