9901437BergeThe International Research Fellow Awards Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twenty-four months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad.This award will provide Dr. Anna Berge with support for twelve months to work with Dr. Michael Fortescue at the University of Copenhagen, in the Department of Eskimology in Denmark.Dr. Berge is studying the history of Greenlandic, a dialect of the Inuit (Eskimo) language. The vast majority of work on Greenlandic has been produced in Denmark. The Institute of Eskimology is one of the foremost centers of the study of Greenland and Greenlandic. The history of West Greenlandic Eskimo has not been studied to any great extent. This knowledge would make a valuable contribution to historical linguistics. In Denmark, she will have access to library and archival materials, as well as to experts in the field of Eskimology. There are written records of Greenlandic that go back to the 17th century. The results of her research will provide insight into the development of Greenlandic in historic times, which will lead to a better understanding of topicality and text structure, which is an understudied aspect of linguistics. Dr. Fortescue, the Chair of the Institute, is an expert in the study of Greenlandic. He has produced a comparative Eskimo dictionary with historical reconstruction of Proto-Eskimo words.***

9901437Berge国际研究员奖计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。 该计划的奖项提供了联合研究的机会，并利用独特或互补的设施，专业知识和国外的实验条件。该奖项将为安娜伯格博士提供支持，与迈克尔Fortescue博士在哥本哈根大学的丹麦的爱斯基摩学系工作12个月。伯格博士正在研究格陵兰语的历史，因纽特人（爱斯基摩人）语言的方言。 绝大多数关于格陵兰语的作品都是在丹麦制作的。 Eskimology研究所是格陵兰和格陵兰语研究的最重要中心之一。 西格陵兰爱斯基摩人的历史还没有得到很大程度的研究。 这些知识将对历史语言学作出宝贵的贡献。 在丹麦，她将有机会接触图书馆和档案资料，以及Eskimology领域的专家。 格陵兰语的书面记录可以追溯到世纪。 她的研究成果将提供格陵兰语在历史上的发展，这将导致更好地理解话题性和文本结构，这是语言学的一个未充分研究的方面。 研究所主席Fortescue博士是格陵兰语研究专家。 他出版了一本比较爱斯基摩语词典，对原始爱斯基摩语词汇进行了历史重建。
