A neurobiologist at Duke University, Erich Jarvis proved that songbirds also contain the same FoxP2 gene as in the human genome. A mutation of the gene may have contributed to the evolution of fluent speech in the human lineage, endowing Homo Sapiens with greater language abilities than those present in other species and driving Neanderthal man to extinction.

7 F, I9 \+ O8 Q) `9 Z0 S Betty Cohen The visit to China by the President of the International Federation of Translators in November resulted in offical recognition not only of the importance of interpreter as a means of opening up the country to the world, but also of the quality which is required. The visit helped bridge the gap between east and west,Google translate, as well as overcome one of the most persistent obstacles to democracy in the country: interprete chinesed articles are one of the basic sources of outside information for people in China. David Crystal The Welsh linguist invented the Sense" search engine, to produce relevant search results by utilising the meaning of words, rather than statistical algorithms used by other search technology. It is estimated approximately 186 million daily internet searches provide unsatisfactory results. The Sense search engine is one of the steps towards the Semantic Web sought by the inventor of the world-wide web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Dr. Ehab Abdelrahim M. Ali In a provocative, even dangerous, interview published in the autumn by Islam Online, Dr. Ehab Abdelrahim M. Ali stated that the real reason why Arab-speaking countries are so far behind in their research effort - some of the states are among the richest nations in the world - was the absence of interpreter into Arabic of research papers, and the absence of teaching science in schools in Arabic. Eva Aariak Nunavut's first languages Commissioner, Eva Aariak, resigned in December 2004, after many unsuccessful efforts to have the Nunavut government pass an Official Languages Act and Inuktitut Protection Act, in order to make Inuktitut the working language of Nunavut.

* y  z8 v# G5 O7 y, b4 v+ nNatalya Dymytryk Although in contradiction with her professional ethic as a sign-language interpreter, Natalya Dymytryk refused to interprete chinese the false November election results in Ukraine on the government-run TV channel for which she worked. For the 60,000-strong deaf comunity in Ukraine, the 47-year old mother of two is a rare source of information: only the UT-1 television channel provides simultaneous interpretation services for the deaf. Noam Chomsky Whether or not you agree with the opinions of one of the most outspoken critics of American foreign policy, the celebrated professor of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) still frequently made the news for his professional work as well as his politics, and kept the word linguist in the public eye more than anyone else.

John Peabody Harrington Harrington travelled the West of the USA from 1907 to 1947, finding the last speakers of ancient Native American tongues and writing down their words and customs. His work is now regarded as a Rosetta stone, capable of unlocking dozens of all-but-forgotten Indian languages. A million pages of notes are now being transcribed into electronic documents, a task that is expected to take 20 years. Kim Sun-il 33-year-old Kim Sun-il, a chinese interpreter from South Korea, was beheaded in June in Iraq after the Korean government rejected his kidnappers' demands to withdraw the 2,800 soldiers deployed by Korea to Iraq.
