That doesn't follow. It makes little sense to believe that intelligence emerges from language rather than the other way around. How is language required for intelligence, beyond the fact that you may effectively need an intelligent system to solve the language problem? And then there is the problem of defining "language" for this purpose, since it is more of a gradient than a discrete thing, much like "intelligence". -James Rogers [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/
