think about what you're saying Mmio, you're contradicting yourself. Isn't Talent and Ability the same thing in certain contexts? Then what seperates it from the "ability" of dedication and the "ability" of motivation? Going down the same linguist dead end there ol' chap.
Kelpie - it can be deconstructed completely because talent is a linguistic construct. Our way of explaining certain things that are exterior to us, and not a fact. As in, you can say "that is a chair in a room" (fact) but not "that is a talent" - because what will you be pointing at? an individual? her work? something inside her brain? these things get tricky
