Aspects of certain intransitivizing postbases and of a transitivizing postbase in Labrador Inuttut
This study concerns itself with certain intransitivizing postbases and a transitivizing postbase in Labrador Inuttut, a dialect of Inuktitut currently spoken mostly in five settlements of the Labrador coast. A verb classification is provided, according to the possible combinations of the postbases u...
