john searle and the piraha

Reading and trying to write on Habermas created a curiosity about more analytic forms of philosophy of language, which I realize will be a pretty daunting and slow-moving task for quite a while. But John Searle of UC-Berkeley not only has some of his own writing up but a nice and easily palatable piece from the New Yorker I missed a few months ago on the Piraha people of Brazil and what might be their, as far as we know, singularity in the world regarding language and culture. And it's in nice pdf so you can see all the photos.
