I've been trying to explain to Michelleolivegoiyo the truth about "primitive" tribes, namely that they do not substantiate the primitive to complex evolution myth.

Some tribes are what is commonly called primitive and have never developed 
their language beyond what was needed in their comfortable environment.
That doesn't mean that, if they move or their environment changes, that 
their language can't change or become more complex or even less complex 
due to the changes in how they have to live. In such cases there is always 
more than one answer or explanation for how people behave or develop or 
even fall back, as far as their culture and language is concerned.

Every human being, every human group, has been evolving for precisely 
the same length of time. There are no 'primitive' groups that somehow 
just started speaking a few generations ago. We've been speaking for at 
least hundreds of thousands of years, and every human group descends 
from people who had language for that length of time.

So there are no 'primitive' languages in the sense that they just 
started a little while ago and have to 'catch up' to other, more 
long-developed languages.

Some languages are simpler in grammar, syntax, vocabulary, etc., than 
others. And some of the languages you, Jonniboi, think are 'primitive' 
are in fact the most complex and difficult languages of all.

Get over the idea that you, of all people, know jack shit about 
language. Your ideas of how language develops are, ironically, simple 
and primitive and naive and just fucking *wrong*. I think it comes from 
your abysmal lack of understanding of evolutionary ideas on all levels 
and in all contexts. You seem to think shit like language gets 'poofed' 
into existence by your god at different times, and that somehow 
translates to starting from fucking scratch with each poof.

It doesn't happen that way. But please, please please don't learn from 
me or anyone else. Please stay as naive and silly as you are now. I'm 
old, and don't have as much excitement in my life as I once did. Your 
idiocy and child-like naivete cause you to spout some truly hilarious 
shit, like this language business, that makes me laugh. Keep it up, you 
are doing your lord's work of entertaining the elderly. ;-)

In this context, it might be worth reading up on language deprivation 
experiments where newborn children were denied exposure to any sort of 
language in an effort to find the "original" human language.  Very cruel 
actions in the name of science....

There are a few instances of "spontaneous" language development, such as 
Creoles or several instances of deaf sign language evolving from 
scratch.  Hugely interesting ....

"Primitive" is in any case a matter of definition and perspective.  Is a 
degree of complication primitive or sophisticated?  Is the spread or 
ease of learning a language primitive or sophisticated?  It all boils 
down to one's personal bias and philosophical predilections....

Yeah, fucked up shit done to infinks in the name of science is perhaps 
one of the worst things done to humans other than outright physical and 
(other) mental torture.

Creoles are examples of merging of languages, or radical adaptation of a 
language to a new population and/or environment. The base language(s) 
have the same time depth of development as other languages.

The case of sign languages is somewhat the same, and somewhat different. 
The same as they are usually (always?) based on the language of the 
culture they come from. Different in that they use short-cuts, syntax, 
grammar, and gestures and facial expressions in ways much more 
free-flowing and expressive, in many cases, than the base language(s) 
they come from. I suspect some deaf folks pity the lack of color and 
flair hearing folks are stuck with in the base language.

My reading of Asstroll's view of 'primitive' was that he meant simple, 
unsophisticated and perhaps quite newly acquired. My thinking was 
related to the YEC's lack of understanding of time-depth of history, 
languages included. Might be wrong about part or all of that. But I like 
my theory, and I'm stickin' to it!

Absolutely.  It's abuse of the highest order.

And it doesn't even have the saving grace of producing any sort of 
scientifically useful results.

True, that; but don't you think this evolution of a new language gives 
insight into how languages develop?  Creole speakers would originally 
have taken available linguistic sources, thrown out all the rules and 
started making something new.  This would, it seems to me, allow us to 
observe the development of grammar in real time, for instance.

How can deaf people base their sign language on the language of their 
culture if they never heard it?  Particularly if the speakers are also 
illiterate...

It's fascinating stuff in any case ....

http://www.boker.org.il/english/newsignlanguage.htm

In this context, it's interesting to note that sign languages are often 
not related in the same way as the languages of their wider society may 
be.  Frex, American Sign Language and British Sign Language are quite 
distinct and mutually unintelligible.  A USaian deaf person visiting the 
UK would need a translator the way his hearing partner wouldn't...
Now that is truly screwy, IMO.

I'm really out of my depth on this issue and on the issue of the 
development of the language by deaf folks. I don't think, though, that 
creoles throw out all the rules of the languages they are amalgamating, 
but rather using them selectively in sometimes simplified ways. I don't 
know, for instance, whether any creole languages have developed solid 
literary traditions, and I don't know how long they last in their 
original form, or whether they complexify (how's that for a neologism?) 
out of necessity or even tend to migrate to one or the other of the 
'parent' languages over time. As I say, out of my depth, and reduced to 
armchair speculation. Much like Asstroll, but with better grammar.

I don't know. I was spit-balling, probably basing my ideas on the 
example of Helen Keller. She couldn't hear or see, yet she developed 
very sophisticated writing and 'speaking' skills in American English out 
of her learning from an American teacher, Anne Sullivan. But she was a 
true isolate, cut off even from the deaf community.

Those raise in a deaf community who themselves are deaf, I grant you, 
are likely to take their intramural language skills from their deaf 
peers. Still, their communication with the majority, hearing culture 
around them is likely to be in the language of the majority. I've not 
heard of any deaf written language, for instance. Though, again, 
armchair speculator here.

I suspect the mutual unintelligibility is limited to sign language, that 
written language is less of a mystery between the American and Brit deaf 
communities. Though, as Churchill said, separated by common language. ;-)

I'll bet there's literature out there about the development of Haitian 
Creole. Lots of theses.

They can read.

But it does diverge from their home culture because of the different way 
the hearing-impaired experience the world. And it IS a subculture 
absolutely. One with debates about what to do when cures for certain 
conditions are found that would let babies escape deafness; some think 
it's a treasonous act removing offspring of the group from the culture. 
You're stating that you are flawed when you're perfectly suited for the 
culture in which you live, where everybody else has this one trait in 
common.

Interesting that they've separated so quickly.

The way some of them are able to jump back and forth between 5000 years 
ago and 4 billion years ago without any clue how vast the distance is 
strong evidence.

There is, and it's fascinating stuff ... at least the parts of it that I 
as a non-linguist can understand.

In the West, they can.
I was thinking of spontaneously evolving sign languages in West Africa 
or Palestine where literacy is the exception rather than the norm.

It is a sub-culture, absolutely.  And as such, it faces the same 
dilemmas as any other sub-culture.  Is assimilation a good thing?  How 
far should one go to preserve cultural distinctiveness?  What about the 
children: is cultural allegiance more important than their chances in 
the wider world?  What is lost, what is gained?

They did not separate.  They have different roots.  That is what I find 
riveting.  Both BSL and ASL as taught and used today originated in sign 
languages that developed informally among communities with many deaf 
people and/or institutions (schools) for the deaf.  ASL has some 
similarity with French sign language because one of the early teachers 
was French and taught the French system adapted to local US usage.  A 
visible difference is that BSL is much more two-handed than ASL.  In 
either case, the languages bear no grammatical relationship to English.

What struck me as thoroughly funny was a comment by a Brit who said that 
even when he learned an used ASL, Americans would tell (sign) him that 
he signed with an accent.

Maybe that is one small reason why there are so many fewer creationists 
and other fundies in Europe: over here, it is just so much harder to 
avoid the evidence of the ages.  When we can take someone to Stonehenge 
or the magalithic temples of Malta, out their hand to the stone and say 
"look at them, they were built before your YE calculations claim the 
earth was even created" it is much harder to persist in such lunacy.

Then  you admit that it is pointless discussing anything with you. Evidence
means nothing to you, since your mind lives in a closed box called 'faith'.
You're wasting your time here, since everything you have written has been
disproved scientifically and historically. Or do you enjoy living your 'life'
as nothing but an annoyance troll? How do you feel knowing that everyone considers you to be nothing but an annoyance troll, a child in a man's body, and only responds to you to keep you from doing something violent, as well
as cutting off your misinformation at the source?

See how idiotic you are trying to show yourself?
Evolution doesn't necessarily make it to betterment. It can go either way, except that bad evolution species will be eventually diminish or die out as compared to the good. 

You have been taught of this from quite a few atheists here, but you chose to remain stupid. OR YOU ARE TRYING TO MISINFORM YOURSELF. How pathetic is that?

A normal consequence of their being covered by his sphincter ani

Simple compared to what? Their language would have satisfied their
needs. Remember the story about Esquimaux having twenty different
words for snow? Whether or not it is  true, and I suspect it is, snow
played such a major part in their lives that it wouldn't surprise me.
And I doubt they had words like "microwave oven", "television", etc
until these were introduced.

And perhaps the lying moron would like to explain who has said the
words he puts into people's mouths?

The Liar For God knows they only "ran around in fields" after being
enslaved. Before that they were hunter-gatherers - whose language
reflected that.

WHAT FUCKING DELUGE?

The Pirahã tribe of remote Brazil were in the news a few years ago -
and their language was so simple it upset Chomskian linguists.

They also had no concept of gods, nor even the words with which to
frame that concept.

What a fucking moron. The earliest languages were extremely simple,
starting with communication using onomatopoeic nouns.

I suspect the in-your-face, deliberately ignorant moron doesn't
understand big words like that - but I'm not going to help him.

And I know he has been given the example of the Pirahã people and
their language previously on more than one occasion, when he has
pulled the same nonsense out of his arse.

>> You probably thought that they did, that they say, "you Jane,

What a fucking moron. A liar as well as an idiot. How else are to
people whose languages are completely different, going to communicate?

You start off by trying to develop a common vocabulary.

>> because the people who conceived them were blinded by evolutionist 

The proven serial liar knows there is no such thing. It is a dishonest
creationist canard so they can pretend well understood scientific fact
is merely an ideological belief.

>>presuppositions.   Evolution presuppositions of the gaps. 

What a fucking moron. A liar as well as an idiot. It has no
presuppositions. It started off with the observation that fossil
species changed and diverged over time. This was investigated and
testable, objective conclusions were reached.

In the last century and a half, these conclusions have had so much
validation and confirmation from widely different fields, that it is a
scientific paradigm - and the only one that explains the divergence of
life.

>> This perpetuated evolution ignorance from the evolutionf gaps

Was this meant to mean anything?

The only objection to evolution and all the facts which support it,
comes from religious loonies who imagine their bronze-age myths and
legends are correct, even when they have been shown not to be.

He has no idea what science is. And he's in as much denial as the
Vatican was in the face of the work of Galileo, Keppler, etc,

All three should be in the psych ward, on anti-psychotic and
anti-schizophrenic medication to make them function normally.

Especially when they have been obsessively and nastily wiping thir
self-imposed ignorance and stupidity in our faces for so long.

They're way beyond just mentally ill.

It develops to meet the need of the people using it, to communicate.

The speaker in the link I gave, was a missionary, an anthropologist
and a linguist - although I can't picture an anthropologist inflicting
the major changes on a culture that missionaries do, unless he was
prostituting his field to use it to help in converting them.

But they simply weren't interested (rather like the Chinese when
missionaries went there, which caused mental breakdowns in many of the
evangelisers). He discovered their language didn't even have the words
to describe the concepts he wanted to teach them, and that it was so
simple it didn't have any recursion.

It caused him to rethink his linguistics, because it went against
Chomsky's previously unquestioned axioms, and it caused him to lose
his faith - they had no concept of god and nothing with which it could
be explained, yet they were happy, content and led fulfilled lives.

Yes.  Like any system that iterates, carrying information from generation 
to generation, languages *evolve*.  Just like life itself.  Cool, eh?
