<div dir="ltr">Dear colleagues and friends,<div><br></div><div>I'm collaborating with some colleagues on a project on the encoding of <b>verticality/vertical movement/vertical deixis</b> in Tibeto-Burman/Trans-Himalayan languages. I'm assembling readings, including any treatments on the topic in reference grammars. Below you will see the readings I've gathered so far. I know there is more out there, possibly also in some more recently published grammars that I have not yet gotten my hands on. I'd be grateful for any further leads.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you!</div><div><br></div><div><u><b>General readings or treatments of specific languages</b></u></div><div><br></div><div>Bickel, B. & Gaenszle, M.
