Hi Annalisa,
I think you have in mind Vera’s articlre in Functions of Language in the Classroom, edited by Del Hymes, Courtney Cazden and Vera John...Steiner was added when Vera married the author Stan Steiner in New Mexico. The research for the article was what brought Vera to New Mexico. Vera's article was about teacher discourse styles that do and don't engage Navajo students in learning. Discourse. Very much what lies the heart of the pain and alienation some feel on the chat. After getting to New Mexico, Vera and Bernard Spolsky founded the doctoral program in Educational Linguistics, Vera’s article epitomises the kinds of issues meant to be addressed by students in the program. Applied linguistics. I enrolled in the program in 1981, after 4 years teaching high school on the Navajo Reservation and one year after Vera and Spolsky established the Ed Ling program. 

I have to apologize for not responding  sooner to your query about Vera’s work with Native Americans and in creativity. My computer was acting up all morning, so I didn’t see your post until after I had sent my own post on Vera’s Creative Collaboration. I actually began writing my post about four days back but held off until the smoke cleared a bit.:)  What I wrote about was precisely what you were drawing attention to: Vera’s work on creativity from and individual and collaborative perspective. 

Yes, Holbrook is still at UNM. Such a smart and generous man. Vygotskian to the bone. He and several other academics and I, mostly retired, were getting together about once a month to chew the fat until Covid hit. Looking forward to when the smoke clears on that.

A confession for the chat that seems timely. As I believe you know, I am a white sys male who feels like a fraud in academia and tiptoes around the big dogs. I was a teacher educator at the College of Santa Fe, which rewarded service to community as much or more than publications. I’m retired now, so my tenure and daily bread doesn’t depend on how well I navigate what can seem, and actually be, very risky territory. Actually, I sympathize with and have respect for, everyone who has weighed in just recently, yourself included. Vera’s and Vygotsky’s tent is big enough for all of us. IMHO.

When talking with teachers about student writing, I’ve often heard often the statement ‘Oh, they lack imagination’, or ‘they struggle with creativity’. I think what this means is that the cultural purpose of narrative for many English as a Second Language students is different from that of the western world. Teachers are mostly not conscious of this, and don’t know what they have to make explicit. Instead of being a cultural difference, teachers perceive this ‘lack’ as a personal failing on the part of the student.

My intention was to compare (correct) my translation with the only published English translation available Thought and Language (1962) by Hanfmann and Vakar, MIT Press. Well, as soon as I held the Russian version of Thinking and Speech in my hand, I realized the title had been mistranslated and the Russian version of the book was twice as thick as the 1962 English translation. When I started translating the chapters, I discovered that roughly half of the paragraphs were omitted in a random fashion within the text.

But I am of a different generation and had to discover the hard way the inadequacies of the 1962 translation. Add to this that in 1984, I undertook the translation of Thinking and Speech to prepare for my third attempt at passing the Graduate Level Reading Exam in Russian at the University of Chicago (the Hanfmann/Vakar translation would not have gotten a passing grade). Well my thoughts were "screw this" - I am correcting the official MIT publication while trying to pass my grad reading exam. Might as well translate something that I am really interested in even if it has never been translated.

Translated it, passed the reading exam with honors, and sent my translation to Jim Wertsch at Northwestern University. Got a phone call from Jim Wertsch - told me that Plenum needed translators for the Collected Works and that I could go to study in Russia to study Vygotsky's writings. I replied that what I was really interested in is 'creativity' and I want to see if Vygotsky wrote anything else on that topic. Wertsch said "No, this is the only paper, Vygotsky had no interest in creativity."  I declined the offer to translate for Plenum and to study in Russia. And all by myself, discovered that Vygotsky had written two other papers on the development of creative imagination, translated those papers and got them in press.

I think you can see from her translation where you can go wrong with Google Translate, which is, after all, just a way of linking up bits of texts that have been previously translated by humans. Using the Google Translate function for Shona, I thought the song referred to "raped by your roomate". Zaza says it means a husband, which is expressed as the payer of bride price. At first I thought this was an accident of history, similar to the fact that our word "husband" means someone who looks after pigs, but of course if you listen to Tuku's song  Haasati Aziva you can see that if it is an accident of history it's a very recent one that still casts a shadow. As Mary said--this is the stuff of a pandemic: systemic, institutionalized, and as a result blithe, indifferent and unaccountable power. As with AIDS, so too with Covid 19.
>  
> Anthony--I said I don't speak Russian. I started studying in 2005 (after a short exchange with Mike) and took four years of formal classes in the language, six to eight hours a week. I have been spending at least eight hours a week reading Russian ever since. So when I look at a paragraph of Vygotsky in Russian I don't usually see any words that I don't recognize. When I do, I do what any Russian would do and look them up. Google Translate works as a bilingual dictionary only the entries are larger than the word and smaller than the clause. But human translators function more like thesauruses, where the entries are not wordings but meanings. For that reason I tend to use "Reverso", which gives whole paragraphs from the data base so you can see the context. . 
>  
> When I meet Nikolai or Anna, I find it impossible to use more than a few well-known phrases in Russian (mostly agreeable things like "Of course" and "You're right!", which is quite unlike my normal way of thinking...). So I think I do not speak Russian, although I have some reading knowledge of it. Operationally what that means is that when I publish a translation, I need a native speaker looking over my shoulder. Since I'm mostly translating into Korean, I actually need two, and I am fortunate that I was born with two shoulders, and even more fortunate that I have Dr. Kim Yongho, who is better than I am in both languages. (But Yongho learned his Russian from Rosetta Stone!)

> a) Racism isn't an interpersonal matter, and still less is it an intra-personal one: it's social, cultural, historical, material. That's why we say it is systemic. And if it's systemic, it is part of the way we look at other languages. Since Lewontin demonstrated the non-viability of race as a unit of analysis for human communities, language has become a stand in for race, and views about language are a stand-in for views about race. That was, after all, where Arturo was looking. 
>  
> b) One way that views about language have become a stand-in for views about race is that languages which lack articles are seen as deviant from some universal grammar and hence defective in some way. My colleague's "article-drop" parameter is actually part of a pattern of thinking that has been part of mainstream linguistics since the late fifties and early sixties, and is exemplified in the "Principles and Parameters" model of Universal Grammar. Chomsky argued that languages like Italian which do not require grammatical subjects as English does must have a setting that permits the omission of this universally obligatory element. This is nonsense. Italian does not drop pronouns; there's really no "pro" there to drop. We do not, after all, go around saying that English is a Korean-honorific-drop-language. Those who assume that languages are genetically hard-wired (the LAD or the magical gene that according to Chomsky created the capacity for human thought or the supposed correlation between mutations in mitochondrial DNA and languages that was alleged by Cavalli-Sforza) are making assumptions that are really not that different from assumptions previously made about the cranial capacity of lesser breeds without the law.
>  
> c) Vygotsky was as much a man of his time as we are of our own. Some writers (c.f. Aaro Toomela on the Cultural Praxis site recently) have argued that Vygotsky believed in "primitive languages", e.g. the Bantu languages, to which Shona belongs. As Zaza makes abundantly clear, Shona is not primitive by any conceivable standard, and I have seen no convincing evidence that Vygotsky ever made this assumption (he did quote missionaries who clearly did make the assumption, but he is quite scathing about them on precisely this point). Certainly the idea that some languages have only the "indicative" or the "nominating" function but not the "signifying" function is not a Vygotskyan one: a language that cannot signify is not a human language, and any language that can signify can signify a concept. Languages can vary according to the meanings that they actually do express, just as registers within a language do. But human meaning potential is, if not infinite (we will not be around forever), at least undetermined and probably indeterminate.

I'm not a Shona linguist so I'm making up terms for the distinction I perceive but there might already be a convention for how Shona linguists describe the difference. Functional Shona is what you will hear people using on the streets. It is a more literal or explicit way of speaking and very similar to European meaning and sensemaking. In functional Shona you might say "I am tired." "She arrived yesterday." It some contexts it is considered rather crass to speak so directly of your feelings, wants, needs. I contrast this to idiomatic Shona which is a version of the language our elders spoke, it reflects pre-colonial Shona culture and thinking because it "beats around the bush". You would rarely directly ask a question, everything was a metaphor, a vague suggestion, never explicitly spelt out. It is more diplomatic, more evasive, and can be problematic when it comes to talking about social or political issues. Tuku sings in this idiomatic style. Tuku's song Bvuma is the best example of his style of which allows for double entendre (He is saying "Tolerance has faded" but he could also mean "Just accept that you're old."

And for me this is really where the song touches on the sensibility of HIV/AIDS as it was experienced in Zimbabwe in the moment of the song.

But as with voter fraud they have made even more hay out of rendering the charge unproveable, by removing its class content and rendering it a purely subjective inclination. This is why, I think (I hope), Arturo and others tend to raise this sort of thing in private off-list material that is so much at variance with their public writings that it fairly attracts the charge of hypocrisy or at least political timidity. After all, if you really suspect your interlocutor of racism, it's incumbent on you to keep your mouth and not just your eyes open. But you've got to put money where your mouth is: you have to provide some evidence (e.g. the paper that Harshad circulated on the list not too long ago). There are important scientific issues we need to discuss which are actually not unrelated to the one that Arturo was reacting to: whether you can accurately judge the language proficiency of a person by their race or national origin (as I have done in the second paragraph above). Not unrelated. But not identical to either, else I would not have written that paragraph.

A dear colleague of mine, who like the vast majority of people in this country is not white and wouldn't know deficit linguistics from a surplus, has just written a paper on why Korean children tend to drop articles (i.e. "a" and "the"). He begins with the Chomskyan premise that all nouns must, according to universal human grammars which are hardwired at birth, be realized by "determiner phrases". What that means is that a noun phrase like "the cat" is not really about a cat--it's about "the", and the "the" is modified by "cat" (What kind of "the-ness" do you mean? The cat kind!)

I won't say it is racist, because unfortunately that term has lost its scientific content and become nothing but a thought crime. But I will say that people who speak languages without articles or languages that emphasize nouns over determiners (e.g. Korean, Chinese, Russian) are not born with a birth defect (or "null spell out", as the Chomskyans say).
