<div class="">Dear colleagues,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">My colleague Alan Rumsey and I are working on a small sign language in Western Highlands, Papua New Guinea. The language has a marker which appears to express either remote future or remote past. This co-expression is attributed by users to the
fact that both far future and far past events occur many sleep-wake cycles from now.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am interested in hearing of any other examples you may be aware of where languages overtly mark both future and past with the same marker (whether this be remote or not). </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best regards</div>
<div class="">Lauren</div>
