I would think so - and if the test is to be valid, surely we'd need more than one child - probably a few hundred to give statistically credible results. I once ask John Cowan if Lojban had produce any results with regard to testing the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. His reply was that there was nothing publishable. -- Ray ================================== http://www.carolandray.plus.com ================================== Frustra fit per plura quod potest fieri per pauciora.
