Arctic Languages in Canada in the Age of Globalization

Abstract

This chapter examines local, regional, national, and global influences on Arctic languages. It adopts a multipronged approach, taking into account the different languages spoken, the social and linguistic context of the Arctic, and the challenges faced by Inuit with regard to linguistic, cultural, and environmental sustainability. The chapter presents a survey of research, political developments, and language policy, and an analysis of Arctic languages in an era of economic, political, and environmental transformations. Questions that are addressed include the nature of the forces currently shaping the Arctic language context; the ways in which the Inuit have been working to counter trends of language endangerment; and the ways in which language intersects with political and economic developments in the changing Arctic.
