ABSTRACT
D an Slobin thinks in multiple languages as he speaks about Turkish, English, Spanish, Rus-sian, or even a Mayan language. His marvelous mind has moved from speaking multilin-gually to thinking multilingually, ltering knowledge and experience through typologies of space, time, motion, signing, telling. I admire how he bravely challenges his own assumptions as he confronts them with yet another language, and another culture. I thank him for his inquisitive mind, and for his exquisite sensitivity in nding connections among the enormous diversity of languages of the world. In this multilingual dialogue he has created communities of thought across boundaries, languages, and cultures.
