Open House

I thought I would take weekends off, but there seems to be no reason to halt the conversation, so I'm turning this weekend into an open house. I urge you to click the Comments link below and report:

• your own ideas concerning the origin of speech, or
• what you would like to see on this blog.

I'll have another post waiting for you Monday morning.

I remember hearing that some fundamental grammatical rules are hardwired into the brain, thus being something all humans and their languages have more or less in common. It would be great to see an informed elaboration on that topic :) This blog has taken of well and I shall certainly be following it in the future. Thanks!

THE BLOGGER RESPONDS

Hardwired grammar (syntax) is one of the most controversial subjects in this controversial field. I hope, and expect, it to be a recurring theme on this blog.

Thanks, of course, for the good words.
