[edit] Contrast with sign language
The present version of the article seems to have a POV in discounting the language of deaf people: the phrase "Modern linguistics regards the spoken language as the natural or the primary medium of human language for some obvious reasons" is particularly strange and I will delete it. --Mathew5000 20:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Character
I read the article, which is brief but reasonably detailed for its technical purpose, but still walked away not understnding the general nature of spoken langauge. In other words, it does a great job of describing the concept, but almost does not at all describe spoken language. I was hoping to make a template of such a description from this article, but having come to the article itself I found only the technical detail. Does anyone else feel the article should characterize spoken language? — robbiemuffin page talk 17:49, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
