Positionals

I have a paper on positionals in Osage.  From the Spearfish conference this
past summer 2002.  Were these papers being made available as a group?  If
not, I can send a copy snailmail, as the special characters don't seem to
email well.

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.
