LINGUISTICS
( human language unique )
By Deka Ramadhan Putra
Human language unique when compared to other forms of communication, such as those used by non-human animals. Communication systems that are used by other animals such as bees or non-human primates is a closed system consisting of a finite number of possibilities that can be expressed. [17]In contrast, human language is no-cap and productive, which means that allows humans to produce an infinite set of pronunciation of a set of finite elements, and to make words and new phrases. This is possible because human language is based on a double-code, in which a number of elements without a limited sense (such as sound, letters or cues) can be combined to form units of meaning (words or phrases). Further, the symbols and grammatical rules of any particular language are generally volatile, which means that the system can only be learned through social interaction. note that the communication system used on animals, on the side another, can only express a generally moved pronunciation genetically. Several animal species have proven able to obtain other forms of communication through social learning, such as Bonobo Kanzi, who learned to express himself using a set of symbolic leksigram. Likewise, many species of birds and whales learn their voices to imitate the other members of their species. However, although some animals can acquire a number of words and symbols, [notes 1] no one can learn more about the different cues that are generally known to a man aged an average of four years, neither was able to gain something which resemble complex grammar as in human language. Human language is also different from animal communication systems in which they use the categories of grammar and semantics, such as nouns and verbs, present and future lights, to express meanings that are very complex.Human language is also unique in that it has recursive property: the way in which, for example, the noun phrase is able to contain another noun phrase (as in "[lip [chimpanzee]]") or a clause were able to contain another clause (as in "[I saw [the dog being Running]] "). Human language is also the only known natural communication system that is free modalities, which means that human language can be used not only for communication through one channel or media, but through some - for example, speech language using the auditory modality, whereas the use of sign language and writing the visual modality, and writing braille using tactile modality.Relating to the meaning to be conveyed and the cognitive operations that created it, the human language is also unique in that it is able to refer to abstract concepts and imagined or hypothetical events, as well as the events that happened in the past or might happen in the future front. The ability to refer to events that do not occur at the same time or place when called with pronounced shift, and if some animal communication systems can make use of the shift (such as communication in bees can communicate the location of nectar sources are beyond the reach of sight), the level of where it is used in human language is also considered unique.
