Consideration on the evolution of language
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.
