Se aprenden conceptos básicos de la lingüística entre líneas y se conoce una historia terrible de la que hay mucho que aprender. Muy bien escrito, ritmo claro y pausado. Además lo tengo siempre como libro de consulta sobre aspectos de la lingüística.

You need to read this. It's good. Unneccessary to mention that it is really good. I mean, really. Really good.

Un travail très fouillé, présentant les détails des erreurs de part et d'autre, mais de manière très humaine. Intéressant d'un point de vue scientifique, éthique et moral.

Rymer's book starts off a bit slow and academic-y, but that's really just setting the stage. Over the course of reading, you see and hear Genie's story unfold, and the horror -- and that's what it is -- of her solitary confinement, and the extraordinary deficits it led to, are subtly catalogued. As Evolutionary Psychologists often point out, we are so used to human capacities that we don't notice how easily they are developed in us, and how well they work in day to day life. Genie's uniquely-forged mental organization underscores just how miraculous some of these are, by highlighting tasks she picked up with relative ease (vocabulary), those with less ease (word order), and those she found impossible (real syntax), not to mention her ongoing struggles with social convention.Rymer's greatest strength here is his impartiality, since the group of scientists studying Genie eventually dissolved into something like factions, and were sued by a bitter former teacher who'd hoped to foster Genie, along with her biological mother. Rymer is painterly in his fleshing out of the various characters, with only Susan Curtiss appearing like the proverbial Saint, and more than a few others clearly motivated as much by the prospect of scientific fame than the ability to heal a profoundly disturbed child.There are moments in the book where you simply have to put it down; it's too hard to read onward. When you learn that Genie was asked to leave a stable, loving home after four years, and was placed in a bland, strict foster care arrangement, that is bad enough. But when this damaged, language-impaired girl said "I want to go live Marilyn house", meaning back where she was, you realize that her life is a litany of falling through the cracks.The book will also teach you a lot about the subtleties of language, but that's tangential. Read it for Genie's story, well told.
