Actually, I think I agree with Matt, that language and human mental processes are so intertwined that it is near impossible to distinguish between the two. Which takes us back to translation - can different linguistic structures communicate a common meaning across those structures? If there are any bilingual people on the list, this would be a great time to speak up. And I can already envision some smart-aleck ready to hit the reply button and write, "Sure, I'm bilingual; I speak American and Canadian." --Mark ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
