The father of my step-son's best friend from high school came to New Orleans 
three years ago to give the keynote address to the American Linguistics 
Society.  He was based at MIT and spent many year attempting a dictionary 
for a non-literate tribe in Nicaragua.  His speech included math-like 
equations mapping language patterns.  It seemed to me his/their ultimate 
goal was one of those Star Trek Universal Translator machines.

Patterns... Linguistic... Visual... Auditory... Tattooed... Occult.
