This workshop will bring together scholars of Tibeto-Burman languages to explore the various ways in which TB grammatical systems incorporate notions of space. Seven linguists will present in-depth information on the encoding of spatial information in a particular Tibeto-Burman language for discussion by the broader group. These presentations will be followed by a summation and general discussion. Results of the workshop will be presented in a session of the ICSTLL.
