Many Linguists, Following The Lead Of Noam Chomsky, Have Argued That Language Is, In Effect, Hardwired Into The Brain. To Terrence Deacon, A Brain Researcher At Boston University And Harvard Medical School, This Explanation Begs A Larger Question. It's A Bit Like Saying (as A Character In Molière's Imaginary Invalid Famously Did) That Opium Induces Sleep Because It Contains A Soporific Factor.

Abandoning The Chicken Or The Egg Debate About What Came First, He Suggests That Language And The Human Brain Evolved Together. From This Perspective Language Must Be Viewed As Its Own Prime Mover, Deacon Writes. Modern Languages, With Their Complex Grammar And Syntax, Their Massive Vocabularies ... Evolved Incrementally From Smaller Beginnings ... And The Brains That Originally Struggled To Support Simple Languages Were Replaced By Brains Better Suited To This Awkward Adaptation. Once Our Ancestors Stumbled Onto The Awesome Power Of Language, It Sent Our Lineage Of Apes Down A Novel Evolutionary Path -- A Path That Has Continued To Diverge From All Other Species Ever Since. And While Our Brains Have Adapted To Language, Language Has Itself Adapted To Our Brains. One Of The Main Reasons Small Children Appear Preadapted To Guess The Rules Of Syntax Correctly, Deacon Suggests, Is That Syntax Itself Has Adapted Itself To The Patterns Most Regularly Guessed By Generation After Generation Of Children. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ealthough Deacon's Central Insight Is Simple And Powerful, \u003ci\u003ethe Symbolic Species\u003c\/i\u003e Is Not Always Clear Or Convincing In Its Details.

Much Of The Book, However, Is Frankly Conjectural, And Many Of Deacon's More Imaginative Scenarios (whether They Have To Do With The Sex Lives Of Homo Erectus Or The Possibility Of Man-made Thinking Machines) Are Clearly Less Than Fully Proven. And For All His Understanding Of Language In The Abstract, Deacon Has Some Trouble Making Himself Understood -- Hiding Some Of His Most Radical Conclusions In The Midst Of Long And Convoluted Arguments And (like A Researcher Teaching Signs To A Recalcitrant Chimp) Repeating Himself Endlessly To Little Effect.

Her discussion may be of equal interest to poetry readers and beginning or experienced writers. She's neither a romantic nor a mechanic, but someone who has observed poems and their writing closely and who writes with unassuming authority about the work she and others do, interspersing history and analysis with exemplary poems (the poets include James Wright, William Carlos Williams, Elizabeth Bishop, Marianne Moore and Walt Whitman). Divided into short chapters on sound, the line, imagery, tone, received forms and free verse, the book also considers the need for revision (an Oliver poem typically passes through 40 or 50 drafts before it is done) and the pros and cons of writing workshops. And though her prose is wisely spare, a reader also falls gladly on signs of a poet: ``Who knows anyway what it is, that wild, silky part of ourselves without which no poem can live?'' or ``Poems begin in experience, but poems are not in fact experience . . . they exist in order to be poems.''
