Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:#1 Verbal communication is not just limited to words, but also includes body language, tone of voice, and facial expressions. These are all things that we can communicate with others through language.

#2 The author will be discussing the science of language, which has progressed greatly in the past few decades.

#3 The idea that language is a cultural invention rather than a biological one has become popular recently. But the truth is that language is an instinct, developed in children without any conscious effort or formal education, and it is the same in every individual.

#4 The idea that language is an instinct is a modern one, and has been criticized for anthropomorphizing the language process.
