[Tibeto-burman-linguistics] Culture in language

[Mark W. Post]

Hi folks -

Could anyone point me to any papers, or sections of larger descriptions, specifically discussing cultural/environmental/contextual shaping of aspects of TH/TB languages? By which I mean the sorts of things found in Language Structure and Environment: Social, Cultural, and Natural Factors (eds. De Busser & LaPolla, 2015). Some clear-ish examples are topographical deixis and (arguably I suppose, but whatever) evidential/egophoricity systems, and Becker's work on Burmese classifiers (and some similar things from other languages). I'm also aware of some relevant aspects of lexicon, e.g. prefix types (higher/lower/wild/domestic animal, kin prefixes, masculine/feminine prefixes/suffixes) and studies of kinship terminology/systems, but I'm sure there are lots of other relevant things out there... Any/all assistance will be gratefully acknowledged!

Thanks much
Mark
