% P3 b0 H  W! M5 o" @( v 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.



According to the Iraqi Union of University Lecturers, more than 250 academics have been killed in the country since the start of the war, partially for acting as chinese interpreters, but also in a deliberate attempt to break down any communication between coalition forces and the Iraqi people.

Sibel Edmonds A high-level Farsi chinese interpreter for the FBI,online translation, Sibel Edmonds was fired after revealing cover-ups of warnings prior to the September 11 terrorist attacks due to "intentional misinterpretation of intelligence", as well as inadequate quality assurance in the hiring and use of linguists by the Agency. Since its re-election, the US administration has increased the interpretation budget for the FBI and the CIA by 50%.

One of the diminishing numbers of "fixers" in Iraq - so named because the non-professional interpreters provide a vital communication link between the coalition forces and the Iraqi people - Syrian-born Mohammed al-Joundi was held hostage for more than 3 months in Falludja before being rescued by US marines.


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.

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.

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.
