If it is to be some version of the French Academe, they must be prepared for forms of ridicule/satire beyond anything presently available. "Let me make one thing perfectly clear" almost invariably precedes some simplistic (how's that for demagoguery?) spout. Further, the "anticipated development of symbolic language" has been underway for millennia with the results we indulge in here. If the notion of Bliss Symbols or ASL or hieroglyphics or whatever is the model for this development we have nothing to fear - instead of being "six months away" it will actually recede further/faster and become more improbable as language grows ever richer. So to "Be prepared for it to be a long process." is a matter of *forever* because it ain't gonna happen. As Dave Pawson would indicate (on another list) -1 (that's a definite "nay" vote). Lisa is almost certainly one of my favorite minds on this WG, but this is a terrible waste of her talent. -- Love. It's Bad Luck to be Superstitious!
