[Tibeto-burman-linguistics] TB Studies on linguistic encoding of plant–human interactions

[Nathan Straub 曹內森]

Hello Kristine,

I'm not really sure what all plant-human interactions would entail... Does
it include those studies of how plants respond to different styles of
music?

.
On the TB side, I thought of Holly Sellers's PhD research at La Trobe on
the ethnobotany and folk taxonomy of plants of the Thailand Lisu. I can't
locate a copy of her thesis right now, but here is a conference paper she
gave about it.

There is also Laur Kiik's recent studies of conservation beliefs and
ethnonationalism among the Kachin.

Hope this helps!
