<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am a journalist writing an article about language
diversity and its links with bio diversity and I am looking to find actual
examples of how languages contain that magical information about ecosystems or
plants or animals or whatever nature is supposed to hide from us and that
linguists are so enthusiastic about. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Apart from the grub reference in the much lamented
article by the WSJ I have not found anything on the internet to this effect.
Does someone have samples that show if not magnify the importance of language
preservation? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
