Paul Johnson make this point on page 701 of his 'History of the American People,' and then continues to talk about the piano and black music changes, as a kind of mockery and 'ragging'
This reminds me that I should investigate pin yin and ideographs and hieroglyphics and other parts of speech ind inventing more parts of speech and ERH as sprachdenker (speech thinker) and music and mathematics as languages (What do the Chiese use for collecting those rocks from the moon's far side?) and the 500 words of any language (Heinlein's 'Golf') and vocative (naming) is 1'2 imperative (Do!) etc. And whale language!
Science fiction imagination.
