The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Fielding Climate Change in Cultural Anthropology (2009, background): “Ethnoscientifi c research sought to understand local knowledge as a system of taxonomies and classifi cations (Atran 1985; Posey 1984, 1986; Hunn 1982; Berlin et al. 1974).”
Social Organization of Crop Genetic Diversity. The G × E × S Interaction Model (2011, unknown): “Many anthropologists, following Berlin’s work [110-112], have compared folk classification, internal to the studied society, with the western scientific nomenclature as an external reference.”
Measuring L2 Lexical Growth Using Hypernymic Relationships (2009, background): “These mean values demonstrate that L2 learners move from more concrete terms to more abstract terms in a manner similar to L1 learners (Berlin et al., 1974; Brown, 1958; Mervis & Crisafi, 1982; Murphy, 2004).”
