Since several very helpful folks have written me with the relevant citation (and web) info on the 'speech gene' research (and since several folks have also requested the info), I figure it'd be easiest just to post back to the list. Here's the citation for hard copy: Title: Localisation of a gene implicated in a severe speech and language disorder. Authors: Simon E.Fisher, Faraneh Vargha-Khadem, Kate E.Watkins, Anthony P. Monaco & Marcus E. Pembrey Nature Genetics, Volume 18, no. 2 pp. 168-170. (Feb. 1998) You can see an abstract of the work at the following address: http://genetics.nature.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/v18n2.885244343.html A shorter blurb about the research is available at this address: http://www.newscientist.com/ns/980131/nlanguage.html Thank you again to the folks who wrote! later, LynnMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
