Do you think the animals can understand each other? The answer is yes. They can communicate to each other by signs and sounds. For example, dogs communicate in many ways. They not only bark, even they howl, growl, snarl, and whine. They lift a paw, or bare their teeth. Other dogs can understand what these sounds and actions mean_.
Animals communicate with each other not only with sounds and movements but with smell. Most animals that live in herds depend on smell to keep together. And, of course, we know how dogs recognize each other by smell.
Apes are supposed to be among the most intelligent of animals, yet, they really have no better “language” than other animals. They make many sounds and expressions of the mouth to communicate their feelings of anger or hunger or joy, but they have nothing like the words of human speech.
By the way, unlike human beings who have to learn how to talk, apes and other animals know their “language” by instinct. They will make the right kind of cries and sounds and expression even if they have never seen another animal like themselves before.
Birds, however, learn their way of singing, at least in part. That is why a sparrow brought up among canaries will try to sing like one. It has been learning the wrong “language”!
If there is just one single thing more astonishing than the ability of the adult human being to talk, it is the process by which someone learns to do this. Some parts of the process are still (1)___quite_____ much a closed book, but it is for the (2)____visible_____ part possible to describe what the child is doing at various stages in its development, even if we cannot account (3)___for_____ how exactly it learns to do these things.
In fact, research carried out by various linguists has (4)___given______ rise to as many theories as there are differences in the rate of development. A baby actually makes sounds from the moment it is born, but for some time these are rather far removed (5)_____by____ arulate speech. In something a year, a baby will probably be at a stage where one or two syllables represent the peak of its achievement as a speaker; one more year and it will be (6)___better____ out with short phrases, and after this it seems (7)________ time at all before the child is capable of uttering complete sentences.
Despite being a truly remarkable feat of learning, this is one that is performed by the vast (8)___diversity______ of human beings. Complex operations are brought (9)________ play in these dealing with speech and language; the key (10)_______ in brain work, though tongue – work and ear – work play a part in the whole process
