From Experts Study New Sign Language System:
- "A new system of sign language developed by deaf children in Nicaragua may hold clues about the evolution of languages.
"That method of communicating now shows similarities to other languages, researchers say in Thursday's issue of the journal Science.
"Language experts have argued for years about whether the basic traits of all languages are hard-wired in the human brain or have developed by trial and error over the years."
- "The mothers in every country reported that their children learned significantly more nouns than other types of words. The researchers said this held true regardless of whether the language emphasized nouns, as does American English, or verbs, as does Korean."

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
