Discussion Post: The World of the Pirahã

After reading the first part of Everett's ethnography and hearing his talk about the Pirahã, what are some of the major lessons that Everett learned through his research? What role did the Pirahã language play in helping Everett to gain insights into their culture? For example, Everett discusses his theory about the "immediacy of experience" for the Pirahã. What linguistic clues led him to pose this theory? How did it help him to understand why they did not want to accept the religious teachings of Christianity, which was Everett's initial mission?
