Can Bigfoot Speak?


Guest Twilight Fan

Recommended Posts

So let me summarize. You think BF is an ape that can't speak? Right?

We know they whoop, roar, scream/yell, whistle/screech, etc. They've been known to woodknock and push over trees and run faster than Olympic sprinters on two legs.

Back to the OP, what's so paranormal about their possible use of phonemes/morphemes or a primitive language even?

As to stories, sticks and BF.

Yes, I can provide stories but I'd prefer to show pictures of layouts and manipulations and some appeared or were added to overnight. Shoot me a PM with an email if this was a serious request.....

If this post is all sarcasm..... never mind.

It wasn't sarcasm... I think they could have a language.

Methinks it's because he's not a linguist in the traditional sense of the word. He was a crypto-linguist, a military translator with a very high security clearance, working in a sensitive environment, intercepting and/or transcribing foreign targets speaking primarily Russian, Spanish, or Persian.

His supporters like to gnash their teeth and wail when I point that out, but I've yet to see an actual linguist support his work.

Traditional sense or not, the word linguist includes by definition a person skilled in many languages. The science of language is a relatively recent discipline, so it's not that traditional to start with.

linguist

1. a person skilled in the science of language. Also linguistician.

2. a person skilled in many languages; a polyglot.

Beyond this definition, it gets confusing with all the specialists. All of these work with the basic building blocks of language.

linguist - a specialist in linguistics

linguistic scientist

computational linguist - someone trained in computer science and linguistics who uses computers for natural language processing

Nelson may qualify for this one too. As computer analysis is used by a Naval Cryptolinguist. (see cryptology technician)

grammarian, syntactician - a linguist who specializes in the study of grammar and syntax

Hebraist - linguist specializing in the Hebrew language

lexicographer, lexicologist - a compiler or writer of a dictionary; a student of the lexical component of language

neurolinguist - someone trained in neuroscience and linguistics who studies brain processes during language production and reception

phonetician - a specialist in phonetics

phonologist - a specialist in phonology

psycholinguist - a person (usually a psychologist but sometimes a linguist) who studies the psychological basis of human language

scientist - a person with advanced knowledge of one or more sciences

semanticist, semiotician - a specialist in the study of meaning

sociolinguist - a linguist who studies the social and cultural factors that influence linguistic communication

Did Scott Nelson mention, or tell you, that he heard the vocalizer talking on the inhale and exhale?

To my amature ear, it sure sounds like that talker is using both the inhale and exhale to vocalize....

Yes a human can do this, but I believe it would be extremely rare. I know I have heard Scott mention that

he has heard this Speech pattern.

Nelson describes himself as a 'crypto-linguist'. Here's a video about crypto-linguists:

This guy gives the explanation of the difference between a linguist and a polyglot:

I have been saying for years they can talk and mimic just about anything they hear.

Just a few of many recordings.

Scott Nelson has said this one is not a human talking: http://soundcloud.co...oice-of-bigfoot

Wondering too, if it was this type of slowed enunciation that is choppy that General is calling "deaf-speech like" ?

You would think that a concise definition could be given with far fewer words....Truth is, the word linguist covers a number of different specialized skills. Just as Anthropologists have their specialized areas.

A few years back I read a report (I think it was in Peter Byrne's archive) from a teenage girl who had been visiting some friends who lived in a cabin in a very remote area (Cascades of Oregon or Washington). Her friends had no indoor bathroom, just an outhouse; she had gone to the outhouse, and opened the door just a bit, enough to peek out and see two bigfoots walking past, speaking, having what she clearly believed was a conversation just like humans would have (although of course she couldn't understand them). She said they were also gesticulating with their hands similarly to humans in conversation.

Scott did not say anything about that recording other than what I posted. He said that on blogtalk radio one night about that recording. One of the few that he had heard that he knew was not a human speaking. I believe those are pretty much the words he used.

Nature just published an article: Baboons Can Learn to Recognize Words

http://www.nature.com/news/baboons-can-learn-to-recognize-words-1.10432

USA today ran an article about it:

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/story/2012-04-12/baboons-reading/54213126/1?csp=34news

It has this interesting quote:

"More remarkably, the researchers found the baboons mistook visually similar non-words for real words in exactly the same pattern as human readers."

Next thing you know we'll have dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac baboons wondering if there is a

dog?

In the meantime, maybe they will branch off into the phonological processing skills of baboons next and solve the riddle

of dyslexia. :cool:

This might sound crazy, but maybe they can be taught to speak English.

Music in some form or other is universal for mankind.

If BFs can talk, can they sing or otherwise make music, i.e. rythmic sounds, pitches?

What little I've read so far, doesn't say much about it only to suggest that music,

when it's played on an instrument or broadcast in their area may bring a visit.
