[Tibeto-burman-linguistics] Encoding of verticality in TB/TH

[Kristine Hildebrandt]

Dear colleagues and friends,

I'm collaborating with some colleagues on a project on the encoding of
*verticality/vertical
movement/vertical deixis* 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.

Thank you!
