How do you think animals see the world? Try putting yourself in their position---how do you communicate? How will you respond to a certain stimulus??

I can say that language really helped me a lot in my life. I was able to express the things that are being driven by my heart...and I can't imagine how my blog would be without language.
Language is one of the greatest and the most fascinating achievements of mankind. The power it bestows is almost inestimable, for without it, anything called "thought" is impossible.
Notice that some children who are just beginning top speak play with a toy; They say "horsey, horsey...", over and over again. Names and the essence of language; for the name is what abstracts something in conception.
Language need not to be vocal; it may be purely visual(like written or even actual but it must be denotative). The sounds, intended or unintended, whereby animals communicate do not constitute a language because they are signs, not names. they never fall into into an organic pattern, a meaningful syntax of even the necessity. That is signs refer to actual situations in which things have obvious relations to each other that requires only to be noted.
These give all true language a natural tendency toward growth and development, in which it seems almost like of life of its own.
Languages are not invented; they grow and flourish as our need for expression grows.
