Greetings all,

I was hoping someone out there could help me with my research.  I'm
beginning a project on Inuktitut spatial terms and am looking for any
resources that might be useful.  In particular, I'll be exploring the
'in front of'/'behind' relation in a Cognitive Grammar framework.

I have Spalding's Inuktitut grammar, Fortescue's West Greenlandic grammar,
Denny's article on spatial deixis, and I know of Cornillac's 'Systematiqye
des contructions lexicales en inuktitut', Paillet's 'Deixis et
representation de l'espace en Inuktitut' and Lowe's 'De l'espace au temps
en Inuktitut'.

If anyone knows of other resources on spatial terms in eastern arctic
languages (or related), I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Finally, if anyone knows Michael Fortescue's e-mail address, could they
please pass it on to me.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Hilary Young
