	Bat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bats are usually grouped with the tree shrews (Scandentia), colugos (Dermoptera), and the primates in superorder Archonta because of the similarities between Megachiroptera and these mammals.
		Bats often form nursery roosts, with many females giving birth in the same area, be it a cave, a tree hole, or a cavity in a building.
		Chinese lore claims the bat is a symbol of longevity and happiness, and is similarly lucky in Poland and geographical Macedonia and among the Kwakiutl and Arabs.

	Encyclopedia: Grammatical gender (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		We say that a language has grammatical genders, or noun classes, when nouns are divided into groups according to natural characteristics of the concepts which they represent.
		In other languages, masculine and feminine are subsumed in the category of person, either generally, or only in the plural, as in the North Caucasian languages and some Dravidian languages.
		Other languages may group genders differently: Czech further divides the masculine gender into animate and inanimate groups; the Nostratic language, a theoretical language that gave rise to the Indo-European languages and other language families, is believed by its proponents to have had human, animal, and object as grammatical genders.

		Bats have auditory systems that are structurally and functionally similar to those of most other mammals, with the same chemistry and wiring, and they have prototypically mammalian brains.
		French, who is a member of Bat Conservation International and, in Pollak’s estimation, “a stellar biologist,” noticed that members of her bat colony were exhibiting very elaborate social communication, but she did not have the expertise to record and evaluate what she was hearing.
		This bat ballad is accompanied by a slathering on of potent bat perfume (urine and pheremones) and by the male flapping his wings to spread this seductive scent to a female bat who may be passing by.

		In other languages, both masculine and feminine nouns are considered to be part of a broader noun class of person, either generally, or only in the plural, as in the North Caucasian languages and some Dravidian languages.

		Languages which classify nouns according to grammatical gender distinguish themselves from languages which merely recognition of natural gender principally through the the existence of a system of gender agreement, which languages which merely recognise natural gender do not have.

	The Language Instinct : How the Mind Creates Language (Perennial Classics)
		There has never been a tribe or group discovered that does not use language, and there is no evidence that a particular geographical region has acted as source of language that is spread to groups that previously did not use language.
		As further evidence to support his thesis that language is instinctual, the author points to the universality of language and language development in children (the latter being his specialty).
		Interestingly, he states that children reinvent language not because they are "smart" but because "they can't help it." In more than one place in the book he expresses his belief that intelligence is not needed for the acquisition of language.

	The Language Instinct : How the Mind Creates Language (Perennial Classics)
		The discussion of how the brain works in the area of language is followed by a discussion of prescriptivist grammar, which Pinker criticizes for being a collection of outmoded and inappropriate rules that in many ways hamper more than help verbal expression.
		The location of the language organ in the brain, for example, is covered in detail.
		The book goes on to cover teaching primates sign language, the evolutionary development of language, "the language mavens" (people who write newspaper columns about proper grammar), and language acquisition by children.
