<div>FYI, LaPolla 1995 inspired a number of more detailed examinations into agent and related markers in Tibeto-Burman languages. Take a look at the journal "Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area" <span></span>volumes 34.2 (2011) and 35.1 (2012), and various articles afterwards, including my own look at Khatso in volume 40.2.</div><div><br><span></span><span></span></div><div>Chris</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
