"Do not sleep - the snake circle! The life and language of the Amazonian jungle Indians" (2008) is the story of Daniel Everett about his life among the people of Pirach"s nation in the jungle of Amazonia. The young linguist and missionary went to Brazil with the whole family to translate the Bible to the pirah language and turn the Indians into Christianity. Piracles do not note the change of day and night and do not know private property, there are no numerical, well-established color concepts, the concepts of right and left and complex proposals. Communication with piras, interest in their image of "life, culture and language - completely changed the representations of the evers about science and religion. As a result, he, who wanted to bring Indians to faith, lost faith himself and dedicated the lives of linguistic research. As a linguistic, he often questiones recognized and common theories about language competence and language as an instinct, and its work - including this - constantly cause hot spores.
This book, which can be attributed simultaneously to memoirs, and to linguistic work, is an interesting look at the nature of the language, its connection with thinking and culture
