Asking for Professional Assistance

[Hardman,Martha J]

You might also contact OSCLG [http://osclg.org/].  We are an 
interdisciplinary group and several of us are linguists. A lot of my 
work has dealt with the topic you mention.

If you are not familiar with my work you might look at my website 
(noted below), at our most recent publication (an ebook) [ 
http://bookstore.iuniverse.com/Products/SKU-000639721/Making-the-Invisible-Visible.aspx 
] (there are sections that deal in depth with this topic and there are 
supplementary readings dedicated to it -- all available by link).  This 
would be a good place to start; the read is easy and the links are 
readily accessible.  Several of my articles are part of the links.

If you read Spanish, then I also suggest the articles on 
http://txupi.wordpress.com under Estudios Académicos/científicos ... 
-- a lot deal with the topic.

There is a great deal in the grammatical lessons (exercise 
presentations) of http://aymara.ufl.edu because the topic comes up in 
almost every dialogue.  Also in the cultural comments.

I am an anthropological linguist, so this fell within my purview when I 
first ran into it more than half a century ago.  It has received little 
acceptance, until fairly recently, within the discipline.  Nevertheless, 
it is there.  If, after becoming familiar with my work and including 
what you learn into your proposal as appropriate, you would like me to 
look at your proposal, I would be willing to do so.

May your work be successful and satisfying, and my it be that you open 
the field to hearing of such diversity.
