I met this woman from Denmark at some ATR course, and we were talking about accents and how they "type cast" a segment of the culture. Americans raised in Alabama can be interpreted as "slow, stupid" for instance because of the drawl. She told me that written Danish was understood by the whole co

That's really neat, wayback. Thanks for posting that information. There is a woman from Thailand and a Chinese couple in my beginner's Spanish class. I will have to remember to ask them what it's like for them to get their heads around a *non* tone-based language. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogrou

I was interested in the ployglot=increased IQ idea about 12 years ago in graduate school. As I recall, the research at that time finally found that learning another language did not increase IQ, with one possible exception: English speaking youngsters who became fgenuinely luent (it took a

I hope you guys don't mind my interjecting a couple of thoughts here. Sapir Whorf doesn't address the emotional reaction we often have on hearing the sound of another language. We find French charming, Dutch funny, and German harsh, for example. Instead, the claim is that different langu
