With regard to Koko signing ASL, check out the book: Next of Kin: My Conversations with Chimpanzees by Roger Fouts and Stephen Tukel Mills (Paperback - Sep 1, 1998), it is a scientific study of chimpanzee's and their ability to use ASL to communitcate... so I dont think it is an overstatement although an ape's language is not equal to a human adults, it is still language. It's fascinating! A great website for freelance interpreters is ww.rid.org

I post various tidbits from my work as an ASL/English interpreter here n there along the way, including some thinking about theory and social structure and the ways language use happens and what it might mean .... well, I am in grad school, what can I say? :-) The category on <a href="http://www.reflexivity.us/blog/archives/interpreting/" rel="nofollow">interpreting</a> in my weblog may be of interest. Meanwhile, I also felt compelled to comment on a certain <a href="http://www.reflexivity.us/blog/archives/2008/04/it-just-aint-th.html" rel="nofollow">unintentional stickiness</a> with saying Koko actually uses ASL. Is it an exaggeration that matters? I don't honestly know, but it seems possible. Nice entry on how cool it is to be an interpreter!

It was probably one of the most well-funded, high-tech, and beautiful education facilities I've ever seen. I believe they still might do tours, during non-school hours, so if this posted got your interested I recommend checking it out.
