As a PhD student associated to the SALTA project (ANR-20-CE27-0015-01), I am currently investigating the spatial system of Negidal, a now moribund North Tungusic language spoken by a few speakers in the Russian Far-East, along the Amgun river in the Lower Amur region. The main focus of this research lies in the description of the symmetries and asymmetries which could appear in Negidal's expression of spatial events, including the Source/Goal asymmetry.
