A riveting account of the astonishing experiences and discoveries made by linguist Daniel Everett while he lived with the Pirahã, a small tribe of Amazonian Indians in central Brazil.Daniel Everett arrived among the Pirahã with his wife and three young children hoping to convert the tribe to Christianity. Everett quickly became obsessed with their language and its cultural and linguistic implications. The Pirahã have no counting system, no fixed terms for color, no concept of war, and no personal property. Everett was so impressed with their peaceful way of life that he eventually lost faith in the God he'd hoped to introduce to them, and instead devoted his life to the science of linguistics. Part passionate memoir, part scientific exploration, Everett's life-changing tale is riveting look into the nature of language, thought, and life itself.

丹尼尔•埃弗里特能够流利地使用皮拉罕语,因长期从事研究皮拉罕语而闻名于世。他在皮拉罕语系统上的发现,既挑战了语言学界权威乔姆斯基的理论,更进一步说明了语言与文化的相互关系。
在语言学理论和对濒临消失的亚马孙流域的土著语言的研究方面,埃弗里特已发表了90多篇论文,出版了6本书籍。
《别睡,这里有蛇》这本书主要讲述了丹尼尔和全家一起,深入亚马逊丛林的皮拉罕村落,长达30多年研究和学习皮拉罕语言和文化的经历。这个故事和我曾经读过的另一本书《毒木圣经》似乎有一些相似之处,但内容和深度上,我觉得又完全不同。 另外,我觉得这本书应该分为4个部分。 ...
评分 评分像所有被派往异域传福音的传教士一样,丹尼尔·埃弗里特进入巴西的丛林时,携带着对上帝无比坚定的信心。他的使命是学习皮拉罕人的语言,并把圣经翻译给他们听,最终把他们也变成上帝的羊群。故事的开头,语言学只是手段,上帝才是目的。然而丹尼尔万万没想到的是,故事的最后...
评分 评分1977年,年仅26岁的丹尼尔受聘于美国福音派教会,携妻带子前往皮拉罕村进行传教。同所有客旅异乡的传教士一样,丹尼尔此行最重要的目的,是将《圣经》翻译为皮拉罕语,惟其如此,信仰的种子才有可能在世界的角落生根发芽。丹尼尔开始学习皮拉罕语,并像当地人一样生活:住在三...
语言学和人类学交织,乔姆斯基大概是真不懂什么是简单生活说简单句子就好了,同时觉得与其呼吁文化的作用,不如说是更少“文化”束缚的结果。但因为政治不正确不敢说人“文化少”吗?印象深的点:no baby talk,对待断奶后的孩子像成人态度;multiple language channels including singing, humming, whistling, yelling等等,语法简单不妨碍语言形式的多样性;一些与生活环境相关的鲜活表达;无创世神话;只谈自己亲历的事情;性禁忌很少,婚姻制度也很宽松;但pirahã人虽然在小群体里亲密快乐同时又极端保守排外。作者客观呈现同时也是自己跌宕的宗教和科研经历。因为这篇博文发现的书 http://neurolingua.blogspot.com/2015/10/blog-post_20.html?m=1&from=singlemessage&isappinstalled=0
