Anthropology
Lecture
Friday,
30 May 2008

For
RTP Anthropology Day, Ives Goddard presented
his research on endangered languages.
There are approximately 6,000 recognized
languages. Linguistic theory aims to account
for the properties of the human language
faculty and follows two premises: 1) all
human languages share the same abstract
rulebook and 2) the language faculty is
a genetic inheritance of all humans.

RTP
Fun
The
skills & talents of students participating
in the RTP Class of '08 runs deep and
extensive, far beyond the reaches of scientific
endeavors. For example, we learned Friday
that Cat Sun can hold 19 grapes in her
mouth! Hummm should we add this as a line
to the RTP application form? Other talents?
