Subject:  Inuktitut spatial terms

A few weeks ago I posted a query to list regarding Inuktitut spatial
terms.  I have since received many responses.  Below is the original
query followed by a list of recommended references.  Thanks again to all
who took the time to respond.



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.
