[Eduardo Rivail Ribeiro]

A revista New Scientist acaba de publicar uma entrevista com Alexandra Aikhenvald (Research Centre for Linguistic Typology, La Trobe University, Austrália), abordando, entre outros assuntos, o seu trabalho com línguas amazônicas. Eis o texto introdutório:


"For want of a word

Imagine how different politics would be if debates were conducted in Tariana, an Amazonian language in which it is a grammatical error to report something without saying how you found it out - as Alexandra Aikhenvald tells us its speakers tell her. Tariana is in danger of dying. With each such disappearance we risk losing insights into different ways of thinking. Aikhenvald told Adrian Barnett about the race to record languages."
