Positionals

[R. Rankin]

I have a longish paper on Siouan positionals that should appear before the end of the year in _Sprachtypologie und Universalienforschung_.  Despite the journal name the papers are in English.  The UW library ought to have it when it comes out.  In the meantime, I can send a copy if you need it.  I'd need a mailing address.

I cover Dhegiha especially, but also deal with the positionals in several other Siouan languages.  I have very little on Ho Chunk however, and there is MUCH yet to be done with the positionals.  I hope you'll contribute to knowledge of how they work in Ho Chunk.

I had an older paper in the Mid-America Linguistics conference proceedings way back in the mid '70's, but the newer one in S.T.U.F. is the one to read.
