<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am looking for languages with postpositions that
are inflected for the person (and perhaps number) of their complement. I
suspect that there may be a terminological matter to deal with (some have called
them relational nouns --- but that term goes in other directions as well).
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am also looking for languages in which the
postposition may be "stranded" when the complement occurs elsewhere in the
sentence. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If anyone has some suggested places to look for
these, I would appreciate it. (I will be presenting a paper about this topic at
the next SSILA meeting, relating to one language in Mexico.)</FONT></DIV>
