Very interesting articles Andre. Thank you. I can use some of this in my address to a linguistics and language class.

  Andre,

      Could you give more precise information on the source of this  
  remarkably
  poignant critique of Pinker's (and many linguists') linguistic  
  egalitarianism?
  I'd like to be able to reference it. (Dell Hymes would agree in most  
  respects.)
