Hello Chomsky! I can't claim to be a great authority. I saw the film `Noam and Love Him' and became intrigued. I am interested in concept of an original biological language from which all languages have sprung. It stands to reason. I don't mean to sound like Dr. Doolittle but animals have a language of a sort - mating calls, warnings, threats. Likewise human language can be seen not as many letters and combinations but as gutturals, labials, dentals and palatials. . .dF8b. .dF'~~"8b. .dF' "8b. .dF' John "8b. .dF' Rider "8b. .dF' [log in to unmask] "8b. .dF'......................"8b.
