Subject: language of the blind
Very good to have a chance to talk today, as always.=nbsp; And enjoyed the follow-up conversation too. 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.
