Good day everyone: 
I have updated the bibliography again and pasted it below. I thank everyone for the attention to detail and the recent recommendations. It has been very inspiring to see the amazing work  available in this vein of research. There have been several addition--some of them more cultural than linguistic anthropology--but in the interest of being thorough I included a few other finds that I ran across as I was double-checking the references. Once again, it may be not be complete/perfect  bibliography and there has been some formatting issues, but I hope it is useful.
Thank-you again and all best,
