Cheryl, I'm glad you added this thread. I have received many questions: "If I cannot dread French, does that mean it is asemic writing?" The answer is NO. If an existing writing an can be translated, it is not asemic writing - even if it can cannot immediately be translated by you. With some effort, it can be translated.

This could get heavy fast - structural linguistics suggests the brain has - what should I call them? - abstract structures, syntax, forms. This is common in all humans. We plug in the words gained from our environment. I'm thinking of Noam Chompsky? Structural linguisitics? Words really only derive meaning when placed in some sort of context, in relationship to words and other things. And to get way far out - I believe Chompsky noted a similarity between structures of language and DNA sequences.
