ROMANIA, BUCHAREST, IFIASA , UNE SUITE D’ÉPISODES

My discovery of Romania is a long story. It started via the International Association of Linguistic Pschomechanics (Association Internationale de la Psychomécanique, AIPL with which I started getting into some contact and exchange in 1970 in Bordeaux III Michel de Montaigne, thanks to my master Jacques Teyssier who left his work uncompleted in August 1973 while I was crossing the USA in long-distance buses to take a position as Teaching Assistant at the University of California at Davis. Since then, I have been a linguistic migrant, a psychomechanician rebel, considering the phylogeny of language is and will remain what I learned 55 years ago: a long, never-ending process of evolution with no real beginning. Vocal productions result from the physical apparatus that is ours and give us the means to produce ten vowels and maybe 35 consonants. There was no beginning, no origin. It emerged with Homo Sapiens from anterior forms of vocal production and communication in less advanced Hominins who inherited their vocal capabilities from even less advanced pre-human Hominids.
