The Nature of Language - Brendon

I'll probably do something with the opening section, which talks about how language is symbolic, people-oriented, and rule-governed.  I could even, if Alex is okay with it, intro the whole thing rather than him if he feels like doing something else.  Otherwise, I would prefer to go after the introduction.  I found a funny little Muppets video that illustrates how a message can be gotten across to an audience without language, especially when that message is how strange it is when people communicate in a different way than us:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCbuRA_D3KU
