Helen Keller’s story is in large part the story of how she acquired language. She lost her sight and hearing just as she was beginning to speak, and for the next five years, though she developed some signs for objects and people around her, she had no words. She was a being without language living in, yet apart from, a social world that derived its structures, meanings, and personal relationships through language. And then, through seemingly miraculous means, she acquired language and entered this world.
