Dear Rhonda,
 
At the time of our conversations about animal communication we were  not 
focused on CSP and his triadic/dyadic distinctions. Just words. Nor did we  ever 
discuss animals' abilities to understand words (you should see what my  Yorkie 
does at the mention of steak!) as opposed to their abilities to  communicate 
back ( surely his response is of a positive nature at that mention  of steak). 
My impression is that WP would be negative on both issues --  or would have 
been then. It would be interesting to hear his response to Temple  Grandin's 
Animals in Translation and Thinking in Pictures,  neither of which had been 
published in his lifetime. For that matter, it would  be interesting to hear his 
reflection on CSP's views and the problems of deep  autism generally...
 
Nikki
