London, UK (Guardian): Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes : Life and Language in the Amazonian Jungle [is] an interesting, if rather formal, travelogue, another tale of a presumptuous Westerner finding enlightenment in the depths of primitive society. The difference here is that Everett, an academic linguist, also presents a radical challenge to Noam Chomsky's theory of universal grammar, which has dominated linguistics for half a century.
