Out on a limb over language

I'm reading his book :)

the article in 'current anthropology' was peer reviewed. the forthcoming article will be also.

Hopefully by linguists.

of course.

wow, the commentators here are complete idiots (all of them).

then he should have said most :)

True. I admit, i was being an apologist for Mr Chomsky. Thank you for your comment, fedaykin6666!

Doesn't it seem like the translation is incorrect during the segment on Poss-NP constructions (@01:45)? To me, I would think Everett is actually saying "Koxoi's child's spouse's dog", seeming he is also pointing at the figurines in that specific order... The Pirahã man would then drop not only one but TWO NPs from the original structure.

actually there are loads of linguists who disagree with Chomsky on a whole range of topics

I think that Piraha language was created by group of orphans 3-5 years old.
