<span class="quoted1">Dine Bizaad Binahoo'aah is an impressive publication
because it adopts a speech community orientation in the presentation of
language content/data</span>. I hope this trend continues and other
linguists/community language advocates follow this example. Linguists should
take careful note too as this publication has all the power of language
description common to linguistics but is versatile enough to be adopted by a
state in its public education system. <br /><br />This is by far better than
force feeding a linguist's reference grammar to communities and students, dont'
you think? ;-)<br /><br />Phil Cash Cash<br />UofA<br /><br />Quoting Cecilia
