From Doug's response to your post, it would appear that there are a lot

Not a reply to anyone in particular but I'm sure there will
be an A&E treatment of this case and how the memories were recovered,
etc. within the next 3 or 4 days (sorry for the cynicism- they just seem
to get these sensationalistic cases on American Justice or such very quickly).
I, too, am curious what the facts of the Shandley conviction are.
I heard (on NPR, I think) that the defense claimed that the alleged
victim's "recovered memory" only happened after he had discussed the court
case with other alleged victims. This would certainly make it suspect.

Yes, this fits with what I know; namely, that there is no type of language,
other than just a compilation of haphazard pieces of language--the
organizational structure of language is disrupted. This applies both to
receptive and productive language. However, when there is a conduction deficit,

Hi all,
I am a senior in college and plan on graduating in December of 2005. I am

of program I want to attend. If any of you have any advice on how to c
Exactly right. Too often we confuse communication with language.
Language has other characteristics, but syntax is essential to the
definition. (Too often this is taken as a way to denigrate other forms
of communication; I always tell students that it differentiates, but
does not denigrate.)

I thought it had been pretty well established that the
key ingredient for real language was syntax. ASL has it, and
is a true language. The symboling chimps appear not to have
it (although there is still a minority who believe they do). Pidgins
don't have it, creoles do. Bickerton suggest

Rick,
What you are explaining is exactly what the students were saying. What do
we define as language? This is where I became unclear as to what the

Wouldn't that depend on our interpretation of "language" however?
For example, damage to Wernike's and Broca's areas won't prevent a person
from being able to draw a picture of a scene. Nor will it affect his or
her understanding of the concepts of "future," "past," or such verbal
concepts as "to
Completely anecdotal, but our campus ASL interpreter has taught stroke
victims with language impairments to use a limited set of signs, and she
stressed that, at best, some have been able to learn about 100-150 signs
but do not use ASL as a language only as symbolic representation.
The funny thing
I think your student doesn't understand how central to language
these areas are. Someone with damage to Broca's area would not be
making up their own language, because they haven't just lost their
original language, they've lost the processing areas necessary for any
language. Similarly, if s
We were discussing Broca's and Wernicke's areas last night in Intro. and
