What seperates us from the animals?

I know a few parrots who might be quite offended by what you have just said, a few octopuses too :toetap05:

 

No lie, I can be offensive.

 

I think the best way this can all be settled is if we all sat down with a couple of cats or something and had a cuppa, and a chat about how they feel about everything. You know, really straiten this mess out

 

Depends on your definition of words.

It's all sounds in the end.

I agree.

 

I'm sure to some that makes perfect sense

 

I wouldn't think it would. Just pointing out that words are not just sounds.

 

we can teach some apes sign language and they can understand to the level of a 2 year old, there are certain humans who can't use spoken language at all. I think you dont understand the simple concept dope.

 

Well, that's very narrow minded of you.

You think these people who live in the deepest jungle actually know 'words' as you know them?!

They are only words to you, because you know them as your language.

 

By language I mean the human use of words both spoken and written for communication. Animals, no doubt communicate with each other as well as with us, however no other animal uses words for communication.

Not meaning in this instance to offend.

 

Yes, they know words as I know them, but they use different sounds. Same words, they just say them differently.

They are words to me because they are words to everyone else as well. We are wired to learn language.

 

So what is a word made up of?

 

Hahaha! This guys a riot. so spirit moon wolf or click kiiik kaaa Koop kiiik means the same to you as them. ( sorry for the pejorative clicking tribal peoples if you are hipforuming from the jungle)

 

Vowels and consonants.

 

No sir. I mean they have a word for sky, I have a word for sky. Same meaning different sounding.

 

Okay, this might take a while

And, what are vowels and consonants made up of?

 

Different sounding?

So words are sounds are they?

 

All words, at their inception, arise from an embodied nature. Words are symbols for the apprehension of experience. We may consider them to be a digital transmission of conditionality.

The word, “condition,” means to speak with. The true meaning of a word is not found in it’s definition, but in the experience it represents, and in turn a word is meaningless, absent it’s experiential conjugations.

Intonation is the vibratory signature of a state of being. Molecular compounds, symbolized by conceived, spoken, and written words, are the particle aspects of the wave forms of these states of being. Everything has a body and everybody has a name.

Every body has a vibratory signature. We name the animals.

The human animal is called homo sapiens. The word, “sapient,” is quoted in its plural form because in man it refers to two distinct aspects, “knowing,” and, “tasting.” Homo Sapiens: knowing and tasting man.

Vowels are the sonic expressions of being. The ”I am” announcement, the knowing part of sapiens. Vowels may be expressed in whole tones. That is, with an open throat, without the involvement of the tongue.

The tongue is the organ of taste. The tongue is the impli-mentor of consonants.

Consonants are the attendant tonal relationships, harmonious or discordant, to the vowel, the self aware expression of being.

 

Words are both spoken and written.
