I remember last year there was some talk about possibly using Lojban as a possible language use to teach an AGI in a minimally ambiguous way. Does anyone know if the same level of ambiguity found in ordinary English language also applies to sign language? I know very little about sign language, but it seems possible that the constraints applied by the relatively long time periods needed to produce gestures with arms/hands compared to the time required to produce vocalizations may mean that sign language communication is more compact and maybe less ambiguous.
Also, comparing the way that the same concepts are represented using spoken and sign language might reveal something about how we normally parse sentences. ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=231415&user_secret=e9e40a7e
