Hi, does anyone know about dictionaries of (Greenlandic) Inuit?
I found references to a dictionary 'Inuit-Danish' but English or
German would be much more helpful.
Any hint, even to unpublished lists of words or expressions, is
welcome.
Please reply to

Thanks a lot,

I have got a query on women's use of diminutives and on the other hand
diminutives being used to address/describe/name etc. women. I sort of dimly
remember that their have been studies on the frequency of diminutives under
both aspects, but now can just remember Robin Lakoff's book. Can anyone
point me to empirical studies of the problem and if possible at the same
time tell me the results? Please answer to me privately, I will report to
the list later on.

I have a student who is interested in graduate work on dialects or language
variety. Any ideas for good MA programs? Thanks for the help.
