Washoe

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Colleagues,
     Last week CNN published an obituary regarding the death of  
Washoe, the chimpanzee who was "the first non-human to acquire human  
language" (or at least some components thereof.  The story is  
available at
http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science/10/31/signing.chimp.dies.ap/index.html
Thanks to Kelley Sacco for drawing attention to this.
