Question

The function of language is two fold to communicate emotion and to give information. The rudimentary language of the lower animals seems to be purely emotive, Beasts makes noises express desire, fear, anger and they like to let off their superfecous energy and to make their presence known to their fellow-creatures. Never do they express a concept. When a startled black-bird flies off at our approach with his characterstic cry, he is not saying "There is a man he is saying "l am afraid" or rather he is simply screaming with terror. And at the sound of the scream, other blackbirds are terrified. Their communication is by emotional inflection, never apparently, by conceptual statement. Man has invented concepts, he does not merely scream with terror; he also says why and of what he is afraid. The noises he makes stand for classes of objects. He can do what the animal can never do, he can write scientifically
