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...
