Thanks CJ,
I'll take a look.
I'm not an expert, but from my experience, cats are less responsive to
word symbols than dogs. Note that even dogs can learn a small number
of symbols. They respond to their names.

Back in the 80s it was quite common to cite:
1. Vygotsky in education and education psychology
2. Bakhtin in literary criticism
3. Elkonen (? unsure of romanization now) in 'reading science'.

Reading across Vygotsky, Elkonin, Merleau-Ponty and Husserl on
psychological topics and concepts is an education in itself. M-P was a
Marxist.

It's a nice synthesis of 'gestural origins' of language with 'mirror
neuron' research.
Also, I find it interesting how gesture is so different with the cats
I interact with on campus.
Although gestures meaning things like 'come here' are
Perhaps my analysis of cat-human communication was botched.
Suffice to say, while my hand gestures get immediate attention,
cats ignore them. They are looking for tails and ears.
One thing that connects across the species is eyes.
