To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He writes: The [language] ability comes so naturally that we are apt to forget what a miracle it is. So let me remind you with some simple demonstrations. Asking you only to surrender your imagination to my words for a few moments, I can cause you to think some very specific thoughts: When a male octopus spots a female, his normally grayish body suddenly becomes striped . . .
Cherries jubilee on a white suit? Wine on an altar cloth? Apply club soda immediately . . .
When Dixie opens the door to ...Tad, she is stunned, because she thought he was dead . . .
With just a handful of words, our brains are pulled hither and thither to far-off corners of a vast mental universe, and new content is installed. For me, the Dixie-and-dead-Tad story from All My Children is old news, but a few of you may not have known Tad is alive. And now you know, from just a few words in the right order.
