    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.

    PARC Prisoner Resource Directory - Last Updated April 2014 1 Core Volunteers B♀ (rita d. brown) Greetings, April 2014 Pat Foley Scott Nelson Welcome to the latest edition of the PARC Prisoner Resource Directory, which has been fully updated as of April 2014. We wish to thank those readers who have written back this past year with letters Sissy Pradier and stories and who have returned our evaluation form, as this allows us to get a better idea of the true Penny Schoner readership of the directory and let us know which direction to take when adding new categories or information. Special thanks again to those who pass on the directory – according to your reports, our Taeva Shefler resource directory is widely circulated and viewed by an average of 15 or more people. Mindy Stone Starting with this edition we have reorganized many resources that were formerly listed in individual categories into a state-by-state listing. Thus for instance, the former entries for Innocence Projects, Prison-Based College Programs, and Family & Visiting Resources are now listed in the Community corresponding state in which the organization is based or primarily offers its services. Our other categories Advisory Board with listings affecting prisoners on a nationwide basis will continue with their own sections, such as Women’s Organizations, Death Penalty Resources, and Religious Programs / Spiritual Resources. B♀ (rita d. brown) Rose Braz PARC also has been closely following the ongoing federal lawsuit over cruel and unusual conditions in California’s security housing units (Ashker v Brown, 4:09-cv-05796-CW), which was filed jointly Angela Davis by the nationally-recognized Center for Constitutional Rights, Oakland-based California Prison Focus, and San Francisco-based Legal Services for Prisoners with Children.

  • Texas Public Safety Threat Overview 2017 (PDF)
    UNCLASSIFIED LAW ENFORCEMENT SEN Texas Public Safety Threat Overview A State Intelligence Estimate Produced by the Texas Department of Public Safety In collaboration with other law enforcement and homeland security agencies January 2017 1 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Executive Summary (U) Texas faces the full spectrum of threats, and the state’s vast size, geography, and large population present unique challenges to public safety and homeland security. Texas employs a systematic approach to detect, assess, and prioritize public safety threats within seven categories: terrorism, crime, motor vehicle crashes, natural disasters, public health threats, industrial accidents, and cyber threats. (U) Due to the recent actions of lone offenders or small groups affiliated with or inspired by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and other foreign terrorist organizations, we assess that the current terrorism threat to Texas is elevated. We recognize that ISIS has had considerable success in inspiring and inciting lone offenders to attack targets in the United States and other Western countries using simple yet effective tactics that are difficult to detect and disrupt. We expect this heightened threat to persist over at least the next year, due in part to the relatively high number of recent terrorism-related arrests and thwarted plots inside the US, and the prevalence and effectiveness of ISIS’s online recruitment and incitement messaging, as the organization is slowly defeated on the battlefield. We are especially concerned about the potential for terrorist infiltration across the US-Mexico border, particularly as foreign terrorist fighters depart Syria and Iraq and enter global migration flows. We are concerned about the challenges associated with the security vetting of Syrian war refugees or asylum seekers who are resettled in Texas – namely, that derogatory security information about individuals is inaccessible or nonexistent.

  • Understanding and Sharing Intentions: the Origins of Cultural Cognition
    BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES (2005) 28, 675–735 Printed in the United States of America Understanding and sharing intentions: The origins of cultural cognition Michael Tomasello, Malinda Carpenter, Josep Call, Tanya Behne, and Henrike Moll Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, D-04103 Leipzig, Germany [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] http://www.eva.mpg.de/psycho/ Abstract: We propose that the crucial difference between human cognition and that of other species is the ability to participate with others in collaborative activities with shared goals and intentions: shared intentionality. Participation in such activities requires not only especially powerful forms of intention reading and cultural learning, but also a unique motivation to share psychological states with oth- ers and unique forms of cognitive representation for doing so. The result of participating in these activities is species-unique forms of cultural cognition and evolution, enabling everything from the creation and use of linguistic symbols to the construction of social norms and individual beliefs to the establishment of social institutions. In support of this proposal we argue and present evidence that great apes (and some children with autism) understand the basics of intentional action, but they still do not participate in activities involving joint intentions and attention (shared intentionality). Human children’s skills of shared intentionality develop gradually during the first 14 months of life as two ontogenetic pathways intertwine: (1) the general ape line of understanding others as animate, goal-directed, and intentional agents; and (2) a species-unique motivation to share emotions, experience, and activities with other persons.

    2018-2019 Annual Report CYO CAMP RANCHO FRAMASA ANNUAL REPORT We Are Grateful Located in the beautiful hills of Brown County, CYO Camp Rancho Framasa is owned by the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and operated by the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO). Originally established in 1946 as a summer camp for youth, Camp Rancho Framasa has developed into a year-round facility that provides an overnight camping experience for up to 250 children each week during the summer months and retreats, leadership courses and outdoor education programs throughout the school year for thousands of youth and adults. Families enjoy Family Camp Weekends, Mother Daughter Weekends and Father Son Campouts during the spring and fall as well. Through the support of donors, the archdiocese and several organizations that have provided funding through grants over the years, CYO Camp is able to offer opportunities for fellowship within the unique setting of a Catholic camp. We are fortunate that those who came before us saw the importance of establishing a place for all of us to experience God through nature. It is our privilege to manage that which has been entrusted to us, and through prudent stewardship and planning, we look forward to continuing to provide for generations to come. Thank you to the many individuals who have supported CYO Camp Rancho Framasa. We are sincerely grateful to you. Board Members PRESIDENT, Joseph L. Kuntz VICE-PRESIDENT, Gregory P.
