Speak, Cultural Memory: A Dead-Language Debate - 0 views

  •  
    Over the last seven years, Jessie Little Doe Fermino, a member of the Mashpee tribe on Cape Cod, has been on a single-minded mission to revive the language of her ancestors, Wampanoag, the one that greeted the Pilgrims when they landed at Plymouth Rock and that gave the state of Massachusetts its name. But when she applied to the National Endowment of the Humanities for a grant to create a Wampanoag dictionary, she was turned down. The apparent reasons: the Wampanoag language has not been used in about 100 years, the known descendants of the original speakers number only 2,500 and Ms. Fermino is trying to make a spoken language out of a language that until recently existed only in documents, many of them from the 17th century.

The Mozart Effect was under fire as being a "limited" source for a study method. The whole controversy behind that was the during the original study, just one of his songs were being used. Which brings up the question, " Just because one of his songs were used and happen to work, doesn't mean that all of his songs will work the same way.
