While I was eating my dinner tonight,
I heard this on the radio --
National Public Radio, to be exact:
I'm kind of sad that I can't make a more illustrated link to this story.
It discusses Evolution
(oh, one of my favorite topics)
and how symbolic language
is one of the key things
that distinguishes us from animals.
I don't agree with everything she says --
she's very beholden to Ferdinand de Saussure
and other standard semiotic theories,
and an entry I want to write this week
(hopefully today or tomorrow)
addresses some of Saussure's concepts
directly.
But I just think it's thrilling that
they're talking about this stuff
on the radio.
I love the radio.
