1) watch kids. it happens just before language, or around there
2) some children make special faces when they are exposed to two languages at home — they can’t ‘fit the words in (that) mouth). I once saw a child have to practice faces in order to speak. Completely split English/Spanish speaking family. What a place to look for bilingual ‘loss’!
3) between the ability to ‘feel’ what we see others do, and the ability to ‘share’ language humans probably don’t need much more than an integrative skill (or talent or trait or…)
4) (but really #1) Great blog. You guys (gals?) (people!) are really showing other authors what a book really can be these days.
hats off! share your mind!

ps-the current ‘dying of the family’ is a great opportunity for anthropologists of urbanity — you can already see the ‘death of the face.’ s.
