Maybe it's not funny, but I find it utterly fascinating (maybe I really am a sad geek?) I checked your links to jog my memory. I recall something about them not perceiving the future as being in front of us, in the linear perception of past, present, and future.<BR/><BR/>Another book that has (to me) new insights on language comes from Oliver Sacks: "Seeing Voices". It is 20 years old, but I enjoyed the thought-provoking story he had of his first encounter with Deaf culture and language, providing lots of history and research info throughout. I recommend it to all language geeks.Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08814867190686442663noreply@blogger.com
