Pity I can't remember the article, and who the author was. Perhaps someone
else might recall such an article. It was in some linguistic journal or
book.

Agreed - this does not look like news. I remember Klima and/or Bellugi
presenting
on the topic in Rome in '83. I don't have the references handy either, but I
would
look for articles by Edward Klima, Ursula Bellugi and maybe Howard Poizner.
