Thank you for doing this! How hard has it been to remove your Western philosophy and sociocultural framing from understanding the underlying linguistic and cultural structure of Pirahã? Has it for you forced a reinterpretation of other linguistic typologies? What lingering effects do you see of your own linguistic framework when it comes to understanding a language that moves in such distinct opposition from a Chomskyan framework, e.g. a recontextualization of Agha's enregisterment or Silverstein's orders of indexicality in the case of a linguistic, sociocultural, and geographic isolate like Pirahã?
