Brandon Barker Introduction: The Perplexities of Water For three hundred fifty miles, the Missouri River ambles eastward across the face of the Show-Me state until suddenly, just before the Illinois border, it veers wildly and throws a nasty uppercut into the throat of the Mississippi. This wayward hook knocks the Mississippi on its heels and leaves behind an ugly kinka big bend in a big river. A couple miles downstream, the City of St. Louis looks on, unfazed as the Big River gets on with its main business—its inexorable, snake- like sinuosity south to New Orleans. Water, as the proverb goes, finds the lowest level. (Unless, of course, the Scientist pours the water into a test tube and the Crow starts dropping pebbles into it . but more about that shortly). In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Mark Twain once quipped that “The river below St. Louis . is the least interesting part. One can sit on the pilot-house for a few hours and watch the low shores, the ungainly trees and the democratic buzzards, and then one might as well go to bed. One has seen everything there is to see” (2006, 89–90). But above or below St. Louisacross two- thousand-plus miles and two-million-plus yearsone thing about the Big River seems permanent: it is bent on maintaining its twisted ways. Twain called the Mississippi “the crookedest river in the world” (a pun no doubt about its physical course and the gamblers and rabble- rousers he lived among during the four years he worked as a pilot on the riverboats): “in one part of its journey it uses up one thousand three hundred miles to cover the same ground that the crow would fly over in six hundred and seventy-five” ([1883] 1996, 21). (And that’s pretty smart of the Crowto outwit the Water. But again, more on that later.) Journal of Folklore Research, Vol. 56, Nos. 2–3, 2019 • doi:10.2979/jfolkrese.56.2_3.01 Copyright © 2019, Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology, Indiana University 1 2 Journal of Folklore Research Vol. 56, Nos. 2–3 Twain knew the waters of the Mississippi—he understood their character and moods. In Life on the Mississippi’s well known and often anthologized ninth chapter, “Continued Perplexities”, he recalls how a slant of reflected light at sunset could portend good winds the next day, how a ripple of the water’s surface foretold the untimely end of some luckless future steamboat, how a floating log was a sign that the river was rising.

  • Called “Talking Animals” Taught Us About Human Language?
    Linguistic Frontiers • 1(1) • 14-38 • 2018 DOI: 10.2478/lf-2018-0005 Linguistic Frontiers Representational Systems in Zoosemiotics and Anthroposemiotics Part I: What Have the So- Called “Talking Animals” Taught Us about Human Language? Research Article Vilém Uhlíř* Theoretical and Evolutionary Biology, Department of Philosophy and History of Sciences. Charles University. Viničná 7, 12843 Praha 2, Czech Republic Received ???, 2018; Accepted ???, 2018 Abstract: This paper offers a brief critical review of some of the so-called “Talking Animals” projects. The findings from the projects are compared with linguistic data from Homo sapiens and with newer evidence gleaned from experiments on animal syntactic skills. The question concerning what had the so-called “Talking Animals” really done is broken down into two categories – words and (recursive) syntax. The (relative) failure of the animal projects in both categories points mainly to the fact that the core feature of language – hierarchical recursive syntax – is missing in the pseudo-linguistic feats of the animals. Keywords: language • syntax • representation • meta-representation • zoosemiotics • anthroposemiotics • talking animals • general cognition • representational systems • evolutionary discontinuity • biosemiotics © Sciendo 1. The “Talking Animals” Projects For the sake of brevity, I offer a greatly selective review of some of the more important “Talking Animals” projects. Please note that many omissions were necessary for reasons of space. The “thought climate” of the 1960s and 1970s was formed largely by the Skinnerian zeitgeist, in which it seemed possible to teach any animal to master any, or almost any, skill, including language. Perhaps riding on an ideological wave, following the surprising claims of Fossey [1] and Goodall [2] concerning primates, as well as the claims of Lilly [3] and Batteau and Markey [4] concerning dolphins, many scientists and researchers focussed on the continuities between humans and other species, while largely ignoring the discontinuities and differences.
