[Separated notes for the two articles into individual pages. Look under "Pages and Files."] [Added discussion for Bickerton Readings Please add your thoughts]


 * Hello! My name is Karsen. My major focus has been in psychology and as the days go on, I am more and more interested in the processing of language and construction of thought, and how these two (plus many more) intermingle. Username for wikipedia.org: karsenfarmer
 * Greetings humans, I exist on a plane tangent to the slope of the earth at a distance of dx from the surface. I have been focusing my studies on logical relationships of the physical universe. I am always searching for new interpersonal interactions to broaden my awareness of the universe to encompass different perspectives. I feel my speaking skills far out weigh my listening skills and I hope to equalize them by the time my structure is reabsorbed into the dynamic earth. Oh, and my name is Joe or Joey or that guy or whatever stimulus gets my attention, and my wikipedia username is phejos28.
 * Hi, I'm Emily - This is my third year at Evergreen, and my focus has been on writing, photography, and Spanish. I don't know a lot about, specifically, about the sciences behind language and of animal communication, but I thought this class looked interesting and it's a change from what I've been studying. My Wikipedia username is 09.wild, thanks.
 * Hello. My name is Allison. I am a Sophomore at Evergreen, but really I'm a Freshman. I really like Shakespeare and Tolkien. And my dog. I took this class because I'm fascinated by learning languages and wanted to take something a little more science-y.

 * Hi! My name is Melinda. I think we've all met by now, but I'm horrible with names, so I'm asking for forgiveness ahead of time if I forget yours. My concentration has been mainly on creative writing. I've started dabbling in some of the sciences though I'm intimidated by them. I am interested in this class primarily because I am married to an autistic fellow who often tells me he feels more "in tune" with wild animals than he does with the rest of the human race, so I'm trying to figure out if there's a pathway to communication between the two worlds.
 * Helllo. My given name is Kyle. My passion is plants, their physiological capabilities astound me; the medicinal and nutritional aspects are quite exciting as well. This class is as refreshing as it is stimulating, never thought linguistics could be so interesting.
 * I'm Xio, a junior and transfer student, and my academic focus is in anthropology and studio art. I have experience with linguistics and a bit of knowledge on the biological evolution of the human species, but not our complex language system. Apologies for the late update!
 * Hi Guys, sorry I'm a little late posting this. It's been a crazy week. My Wikipedia username is Melynn23.
 * Hi, I'm Selena, you all know me by now. I'm just here to tell you that my Wikipedia username is SelenaFaller, predictably enough.
 * Hi Everyone...just FYI, I posted some suggestions to the wikipedia article talk page. If you have a sec, please take a look and leave a note with your thoughts. Have a great day!-Melinda
