Communication, Language, And Language

Researchers studies have shown that it is possible for an animal to communicate. For example, a dog barks when it's hungry, wants water, or wants to play just like Kanzi a bonobo. In the article, “Speaking Bonobo” Paul Raffaele said, “Kanzi touched symbols for marshmallows and fire… Kanzi snapped twigs for a fire, lit them with matches and toasted the marshmallows on a stick.” So you see now that animals can communicate with humans by pointing at symbols. Also it says, “Kanzi can understand words that aren't a part of his keyboard vocabulary.” So when you talk to a animal it probably will understand you. On the other hand,

When picking my choice of things I respect, I had chosen dolphins as one of the things I respect out of all the animals. Dolphins are known for expressing its emotions and feelings just like human do but in Dolphin way, they are smart and intelligent animal. But most of all why I had chosen this animal is because I respect them not just because they’re wonderful creature but for their braveness

Animal behavior can often imitate our own. There is much to find out by looking at research on the linguistics of primates. In an experiment a chimp named Lana was able to learn a lot about human communication with the use of lexigrams. Lexigrams are symbols that correspond to words or ideas. They were invented by Duane Rumbaugh.The lexigram keyboard and synthesizer was a system that allowed Lana to communicate hundreds of terms to her human counterparts ("Can Animals Understand Human Language?" )

A person communicate different variety of ways, both verbally and non-verbally. Primates and other animals have been communicating without the use of language since long before humans invented verbal communication. Some scientists believe that even today, most communication between humans is non-verbal. Both types of communication differ significantly between genders and across cultures.

Encouragement is an important tool for helping children develop in their language and communication skills and should be used as much as possible. Adults will need to give children the opportunity to take part in speaking and listening for many different purposes and situations and this can be achieved either in a whole class or small group setting Language is important in these roles and we should encourage them by asking them to talk about their own ideas.

If humans can communicate, then why can't animals? In my opinion, some animals can learn or use language because they have the capability.

For as long as time can be accounted for, people, as well as animals have been known to interact with each other through various methods of communication. Communication is simply the exchange of receiving and sending information from one subject to another. The word information though covers so much. People are able to display ideas, feelings, needs and desires through communication as information to another subject.

Chimpanzees are very capable of reading body language, but sadly, they are unable to determine another individual’s emotions, whether they are ecstatic, gloomy, or possibly enraged. Chimps, alternatively, cannot ponder another being’s state of mind without the use of body language. According to Terrace, humans flourish with a much richer form of communication called declarative mode. Declarative language is described as conversational exchanges between a speaker and a listener with a purpose to exchange information. Humans are thought to use advanced language through various forms of writing, art, sound, radio, spoken language, sign language and so on, whereas Chimpanzees speak basic communication with a limited range of sounds and gestures. However, communication is not the only difference between humans and

Since the language-trained apes only seemed to press the buttons to receive an award, it shows that the apes don’t have a real need to communicate with us or learn our language. There is probably no evolutionary pressure for us to communicate with each

In 1980, S.F. Scudder proposed that all living beings existing on the planet communicate in some way, even plants. We need to communicate to survive. My paper discusses various communication theories that relate to things that I observed or experienced over the course of my internship.

Bottle nosed Dolphins are often regarded as being one of the smartest animal to have existed. Their existence has been over the past few centuries have been noted and highly complimented for being close allies of humans. In recent years, over the past few decades, the controversy of keeping dolphins under human captivity has blown way up and received uncanny amounts of criticism for holding dolphins in smaller aquariums for human entertainment. The ethicality of bottle nosed dolphin captivity is frequently questioned, however the quality of life and health of the dolphins is often not acknowledged to its full potential or received praise for the benefits constant human supervision has for dolphin life.

Scientists have noticed that these creatures of the ocean can actually communicate with each other and form thoughts. As people are doing research and tests on the animals they have noticed that the dolphins try to communicate and play with the humans as well. However, this has been ignored for some time. Dolphins held in captivity are taught commands through American sign language which the dolphins learn quickly and fairly easily. Although dolphins can comprehend the sign language with ease, the lack of hands makes it impossible for dolphins to communicate back with researchers. Dolphins are more acoustic animals, meaning they have a very strong sense of hearing and are very sensitive to sound. Because of this, dolphins communicate with one another through sonar waves. These unique qualities show that these animals are not meant to be locked and kept away from their natural habitat or killed for no real

Our basic mean of communication among species and interspecies is thru language. Language enables us to communicate with each other, our thoughts and feelings, ideas and concepts, likes, and dislikes, fears, dreams

The claim, humans are the only animal that can acquire language has been the subject of much debate as scientists have investigated language use by non-human species. Researchers have taught apes, monkeys, parrots and wild children with various systems of human-like communication. Thus, one might ask, what is human language? According to Ulla Hedeager, A universally accepted definition of language or the criteria for its use does not exist. This is one of the reasons for the disagreement among scientists about whether non-human species can use a language. In nature, researchers find numerous types of communication systems, several of which appear to be unique to their possessors, and one of them is the language of the human species. Basically, the purpose of communication is the preservation, growth, and development of the species (Smith and Miller 1968:265). The ability to exchange information is shared by all communication systems, and a number of non-human systems share some features of human language. The fundamental difference between human and non-human communication is that animals are believed to react instinctively, in a stereotyped and predictable way. Generally, human behavior is under the voluntary control,

Communication is a way of life for sociable organisms on earth. There are many forms of communication and several are used without saying a word or making a sound. With the types of communication in the world, communicating effectively may seem an unlikely idea. Effective communication between two individuals or more is dependable on the way the message from the sender has encoded the information. Effective communication insists that information sent should be received and retransmitted back to the sender without any loss in translation. To understand communication, it must first be broken down so that each
