I'm guessing the language used is where she developed the vocabulary for these topics. I know I'm much more comfortable counting in Dutch than in English, even though I only spoke Dutch for six years and English for over forty years. Today, I couldn't carry on a credible Dutch conversation in the professional world of technology because I don't don't have the Dutch vocabulary for the technical terms. <br /><br />I look forward to reading the gender discussion.<br /><br />As for the Pope's statement: "It's about time!

Very tempting, though. <br /><br />As a woman who tends to be comfortable with so-called masculine interests and activities, I should come down hard on the side of 'nurture', but I'm not so sure that's the reason for my cross-over skills. Gad, this takes some reflection and I'm intrigued now. <br /><br />The music was terrific - the opening notes gave me goosebumps. Must be thrilling for you to see your countrymen spreading the Cuban gospel in such excellent fashion. <br /><br />As for your mutillingual friend, i envy her exposure and facility with three languages. I suspect her tendency to use each language specifically has its basis in situational influences at the time she learned each one. In any case, what a gift.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892637441668897411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-63641260348293355922010-11-29T07:00:52.548+00:002010-11-29T07:00:52.548+00:00Oh what interesting topics- both the linguistics a...Oh what interesting topics- both the linguistics abilities of being trilingual and the whole question of communication styles between genders. I have a Masters in Linguistics, so I love to think about the social, psycholinguistic aspects of it. Although I don't buy David Gray's (the author's) arguments completely, there is at least some evidence for gender differences in how we communicate (though not derived from nature)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-63935705283143553362010-11-28T23:40:13.460+00:002010-11-28T23:40:13.460+00:00Oh Cuban, what a fascinating opening to a discussi...Oh Cuban, what a fascinating opening to a discussion, and my apologies, I would have loved to be considered as a contributor but having just looked at the diary,a thinking hour or two is not available in the next seven days!<br />With the two big offspring, the F was the chatterbox in the house but virtually mute in company, whereas the M was very much under his sister's thumb in the house, but absolutely comfortable, almost urbane(!) when out in the wider world. And with the younger two being twins, the nature/nurture debate is very present in my mind, as sibling genes and identical environment have produced chalk and cheese.<br /><br />And yes, lovely, lovely music!Titushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16380213493011623153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-23977443871483073182010-11-28T21:14:19.139+00:002010-11-28T21:14:19.139+00:00How interesting that this woman used different lan...How interesting that this woman used different languages to express different subjects. Was that more due to vocabulary (ie she raised her kids in England) or the nature of the language itself? <br /><br />I love how you challenge gender stereotypes.

I can't even begin to describe the emotions and feelings running through my body when I saw them performing. But that's Cuba for you, always full of surprises.<br /><br />I'm over the moon. One of the bloggers whose posts I read regularly asked me to be part of the debate and I have just e-mailed her the questions. I just need two more. C'mon, my people, I'm waiting for you!
