Cultural Constraints on Grammar and Cognition in Pirahã: Another Look at the Design Features of Human Language. Current Anthropology 46:621–646 <br/> This article was found freely in a Google search (http://www1.icsi.berkeley.edu/~kay/Everett.CA.Piraha.pdf) on the webpage of a respectable university and does not require paid access to legitimately use.

Just want to clear up some ambiguity (the sidebar lists me as the author): I did NOT in any way shape or form author this paper. This is Daniel Everett's work, and I am simply linking to it from the Piraha page.
