Since it's a slow day in the group, just thought I would mention an
article I stumbled across last night. It's been online for years so
some of you may have seen it already.
www.nytimes.com/library/magazine/home/19991024mag-sign-language.html
A thought-provoking claim in the article:
> As Kegl marvels, "No linguist could create a language with
> half the complexity or richness that a 4-year-old could
> give birth to."
