ianauaqe and its structure. 

The material taught wilibe based very largely on the field 

notes of the prospective teachers all of whom have had extensive 

field experience both of the language and. the culture in which it is 

spoken. Published legends and anthropological reports will be used 

in providing other illustrative material and in helping to relate 

lanGuage to culture. The principle concern, however, will be to 

present a contrastive analysis of Enqlish and the Amerindian lanquene. 

One significant aim of the course will be to show that, nthwith- 

stndirg popular belief to the contrary, these languages are in no 

sense "primitive", that they are in fact quite comparable to English 

in ever y 

way although the conceptual categories they use are often 

rad.cally different. Finally, an attempt will be made to show ho 

the language is related to other Amerindian languages and language 

families.
