Interesting people= Especially Martin. The study on acquisition of language by the blind th=t I mentioned is: Barbara Landau and Lila Gleitman, Language and Experience: Evidence from the Blind Child. From a=out 25 years ago. A real breakthrough at the time. There'=s been work since, much of it by Lila Gleitman and her students. Lil=, incidentally, is someone you might want to get to know. An old friend, and a really outstanding psycholinguist-cognitive scientist= one of the best.
