| Research Abstract |
In this study, fieldwork has been conducted on Huu-ay-aht, an endangered and understudied Nuu-chah-nulth language, in the province of British Columbia, Canada, over a total period of three months, on the purpose of documenting, not only isolated grammatical patterns, but also communicative patterns together with surrounding cultural and social contexts. Based on the documentation, a lexical and textual database/corpus has been constructed for the academic usage as well as for the preservation of one of the great intellectual properties of human kind in endangerment.
