Comparing the Piraha culture to American culture

Introduction

The Pirahã are hunters and fishermen with great intelligence and ability, who speak a language that highlights the complexity of his verbs and sound systems. The Pirahã language and culture have several features in the world, and in turn, lack of features that are assumed present in all human groups. Their language has no words for colors or grammatical elements to place phrases within other phrases. The unifying feature behind all of these features is a cultural constraint, which leads them to refuse to talk about things that go beyond personal experience (Everett, 978).

One of the cultural values of the Piraha is Self-reliance. According to whort (1930), we humans are capable of formulating thoughts from elements that have correspondence in the words they form are surrounded by so that we can use grammatical resources and this allows us that we can identify and recognize our vocabulary. The text shows us the mystery of the Pirahã tribe where we show the same duties or cultures, but what draws the attention of researchers is that the tribe has a unique form of communication.

What we see is that we all have the ability to develop our own grammar is code or more different forms of communication We can make communicating clearly and objectively in accordance with the understanding of the environment in which we live. Everyone has the ability to develop a form of communication be it single or between people. Information about the Amazon tribe of the Pirahã, and a fact that defies the scientific methods for dealing with the linguistic theory of Noam Chomsky that glitters is contextualized language training from references which features to develop language.

Pirahã people are conditioned with a single language and complete an otherwise spoken or written language to relate. The primitive known as the Amazonian Indians have their own characteristics ranging from the language until the early Amazonian Indians known to possess characteristics that range from language to customs different from most of society, but explaining it is essential that each Indian tribe has instruments common language, however, here are some social features for communication in everyday life the Pirahã are exceptions to rules (Gordon, 496).
