racist linguist plot linguist list vol5 1467 regarding steven schaufele recent posting language amongst anthropoidea racist linguist plot wherein claims never noticed antianimal racism training remember knowing racism yet knowing institutionalized racism wherein institution permeated racism people even aware say racist let change word racist speciesist since 1 racist nt exactly fit crossspecies issues except older meaning human race 2 speciesist points clearly anthropocentrism 3 longer like use current concept race history use past 100 years particular meaning check oed proven

linguistics part human language nt work normal human language rules tend knock every bit morphological syntactic machinery encounter play rules consequently help us question culturally condoned uniqueness attitude well let explain struck recently never encountered anyone else discussing similarity definition idioms formulaic speech utterances whose meaning pieced together meanings pieces must attached whole utterance exactly definition act nonhuman communication find textbooks bee dances bird songs etc fact definition perhaps nonhuman beings usually said human language pieces utterances cant added make whole meaning way say using morphology syntax human language humans animals thus intersect language entire evolutionary range levels idioms sounds emotions gestures pheromones humans sometimes also construct new utterances scratch typically tend use idioms formulaic speech know well use less strangers tend use formal public speech bees birds trees tend know groups well therefore said use idioms languaging like us unless want call subhuman merely communicating using language use idioms formulaic speech move accept irrevocably puts humans land animals sea creatures trees maybe language map wild speculations however evolutionarily based actually accomodated within real linguistic theory 15 years ago charles fillmore working unified approach really
