<P>Thank you, Bernadette Adley-SantaMaria</P>
<P>I recommend Hardman's article below where, through studying Jaqaru, she
explains how land is indeed, as you point out, intertwined with language
(both being parts of the whole): if you lose one, you lose the other.
Hardman also demonstrates how English, especially the English cultural thinking
as manifested its three major linguistic postulates, can often do damage to the
indigenous/local. One of the English postulates Hardman identifies is "ranking
through comparative/absolute," which the original article in question here
exemplifies very well for us: "<SPAN><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: georgia,serif"><STRONG>Language (is) more important than
land!</STRONG></SPAN></SPAN>" Really, what's the point of ranking the importance
of language against the importance of land anyway??? Many English users,
unfortunately, seem unable to escape such ranking mentality.</P>

<P>Let me or Dr. Hardman know if you can't find a copy. I believe she wouldn't
mind sharing.</P>
