The Scripture on the Five Emperors in the Five Directions: Evidence of the Spread of Taoism Amongst the Naxi

SAGE Open, 2023
As residents of the Sino-Tibetan borderlands, the Naxi people have their own native religion, which manifests a mixture of indigenous beliefs with Tibetan Bon and Buddhism.

From Nominalisation to Passive in Old Tibetan: Reconstructing Grammatical Meaning in an Extinct Language

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 124, Issue 2, Page 314-356, July 2026.
Abstract Based on an analysis of the Old Literary Tibetan corpus—a corpus of the oldest documented Tibetic language—the present study provides evidence that literary Tibetan v3 verb stems (commonly termed ‘future’) initially encoded passive voice. New arguments put forward in this article range from Trans‐Himalayan nominal morphology to early Tibetan ...

Reconstructing Old Chinese *‐ts Using Han‐Time Material

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 124, Issue 2, Page 487-512, July 2026.
Abstract Baxter & Sagart (2014b) reconstruct *‐Vt‐s on the basis of Middle Chinese reflexes in ‐jH (from some OC *‐s) coupled with either etymological or graphic connections to words in Middle Chinese ‐t. This approach, while perfectly sound, can suffer from lack of etymological or graphic data, leading to missed reconstructions. Since Old Chinese *‐ts

Cross‐Cultural Variation in the Noun Bias in Early Vocabulary Development: A Systematic Review

Cognitive Science, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Children's early vocabularies have been observed to be predominated by nouns, particularly concrete and animate nouns. This phenomenon, known as the “noun bias,” is argued to reflect a universal conceptual advantage for concrete objects in early word learning, because such referents are perceived as bounded, individualized concepts that are ...

Pangenome analysis reveals the genetic mechanism underlying high‐altitude adaptation in Qinghai–Xizang (Tibet) Plateau Rhododendron

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 2166-2188, July 2026.
Pan‐genome analysis reveals that high‐altitude Rhododendron species resist alpine cold stress by rapidly sensing and engaging the chilling response pathway and genes that directly and indirectly protect the plant from UV radiation. Heritable genomic features such as long terminal repeats contribute to the adaptive diversification of Rhododendron ...

The include network: Advancing cross‐linguistic equity in brain health research

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Speech and language measures are increasingly recognized as sensitive, scalable, non‐invasive markers of diverse brain disorders. Yet, current research is overwhelmingly English‐centric, neglecting the world's vast linguistic diversity and undermining these markers’ global applicability.

A Top‐Down View of Global and Regional Carbon Budgets From an Ensemble of Atmospheric Inversions

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric inversions provide surface CO2 flux estimates based on in situ observed atmospheric CO2 mole fractions or satellite‐based column average CO2 (XCO2). Here, we provide a detailed assessment of 14 atmospheric CO2 inversions included in the Global Carbon Budget (GCB2024).
