Appreciate it! Your blogger respondents should know that the book is OP, but still available via Alibris and Amazon from various private sellers. (And I have a few copies, also.) More to the point--even though I wrote that some years back, i continue to be fascinated by lingistics and especially by the origins of language. I'm currently doing some poking around at a possible article on this topic for "Analog". We'll see what develops! Joel Davis 2008-03-24T00:10:10-05:00
