"'You  see;'  she signed.  'Look  at  your joke.  'Change'  and  'change'. Does this  not  show  that  we  are  good  at  adapting, that we are an intelligent people, that it's not  necessary to implant and mouth-speak? Has not our culture  taught us how to survive in a world of sound-speakers?'"(McDonnell 206).

"Colonel Weber asked, 'Suppose I gave you an hour's worth of recordings; how long would it take you to determine if we need this sound spectrograph or not?'
'I couldn't determine that just a recording no matter how much time I had. I'd need to talk with the aliens directly.'
The colonel shook his head. 'Not possible.'
I tried to break it to him gently. 'That's your call, of course. But the only way to learn an unknown language is to interact with a native speaker, and by that I mean asking questions, holding a conversation, that sort of thing. Without that, it's simply not possible. So if you want to learn the alien's language, someone with training in field linguistics—whether it's me or someone else—will have to talk with an alien. Recordings alone aren't sufficient'" (Chiang 1998).
