Abstract

Defining language as the apparatus that enables two entities to exchange information is useful. The mechanism of language is then seen in humans, trees and even in non-living molecular signalling. A species evolves when there is exchange of information for the purpose of reproducibility, mainly. Common language therefore may define a species, if defined as such. A concept on how human language evolves is presented below.
