Default What is language?
Hi all,

Unfortunately, I have to answer the question of "what is language?", since I am a student in Languistic, my lecturer want us to explain it in terms of modern language...

Anyone can give me an outline about how to answer this question?

thanks!

Hi,
Language is a way of communication by human being. It is oral. Besides there are body language,mimics. Also, animals have their own languages. A bee tells the others where the next flowers are.
