Talk:Protolanguage

Removals
These were removed bcz they violate WP:DabRL:
 * *Protolanguage (language acquisition), the ontogenetic precursor of language during childrens language acquisition
 * *Protolanguage (mental), the microgenetic precursor of language in the brain during speech production

WP:DabRL clarifies the problem, and other parts of WP:MoSDab (and WP:MoSDab) may (or not) suggest related conforming entries for the accompanying Dab page. --Jerzy•t 04:48, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * These were left in place, but they are likely to end up radically trimmed, since only brief navigational information belongs on Dab pages:
 * *Protolanguage, the phylogenetic development of language in evolutionary terms *Proto-language, the socioculturogenetic precursor of a language family
 * It seems unlikely that the wording of the 4 entries and the distinctions made by them form the core of a potential WP article, but there might be a possibility of some kind of article on concepts of linguistic and/or paralinguistic studies. Perhaps collecting here all 4 of the entries i found will help a colleague make the preceding editor's efforts useful. --Jerzy•t 04:48, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

"Proto-language" and "origin of language"
On reflection, i found the x-genetic terminology (see preceding section) to be either neologisms or obscurely hyper-technical (despite being fresh from a treatment of Haeckel!), and of no likely use to users requiring the assistance of this Dab page. I'm less than happy with the wordiness of the rewrites that seemed to me urgent, but i couldn't see any prospect of my progressing further toward terse clarity at anywhere near the rate of my effort just ended. --Jerzy•t 06:01, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
