Natural semantic metalanguage - something like this: "something bad happened / if I didn't know that it happened I would say: 'I don't want it to happen' / I don't say this now because I know: 'I can't do anything'" / because of this, this person feels something bad / X feels something like this anger: I think this person did something bad / I don't want this person to do things like this / I want to do something because of this Anna Wierzbicka originated the NSM theory. Other related researchers include Cliff Goddard, Felix Ameka, Hilary Chappell, and Nick Enfield. NSM is commonly used in cross-cultural semantics.

Ammann lived in the region of Ste. Marie-aux-Mines, Upper Alsace, in 1696. On February 27 of that year, he signed a petition against compulsory militiary service.

Ammann's name is found on a 1708 list that Mennonites were required to sign by Alsace authorities. An Erlenbach record of his daughter's baptism in 1730 mentions that he had died prior to the event. In 1693, Jakob Ammann took issue from out of Alsace with Swiss Mennonite.
