Animal "Languages"
Is language the exclusive property of the human species? The idea of talking animals is as old and as. Widespread among human societies as language itself. All
cultures have legends in which some animal plays a speaking, role. All over West
Africa children listen, to folktales in which a "Spider-Man." is the hero. "Coyote"
.Is a favorite figure in many Native American tales and many, an animal takes
the stage in Aesop 's famous fables. The fictional. Doctor Doolittle 's Forte was
communicating with all manner of animals from giant, snails to tiny sparrows.
If language. Is viewed only as a system of communication then many, species
communicate. Humans also use systems other than language. To relate to each
.Other and to send and receive "messages," like so-called body language. The
question is whether the communication systems. Used by other species are at all
like human linguistic knowledge which is, acquired by children with, no instruction and. Which is used creatively rather than in response to internal or external stimuli.
