The Language Between Human and Animal
There is no doubt that language is one of the greatest blessings bestowed upon humans. It is also the foundation of human vitality, actions, and every kind of aspects of life. Language serves as a means of communication between humans and maybe also between animals. However, it is impossible for us to fully comprehend the language of animals, because the nature of humans is different from nature of animals. Language shapes society and forms a different nation, separate from others. When a nation possesses its own unique language, that language becomes an integral part of its identity. As we know, societies have existed since ancient times, and language has been the primary tool for communication among humans. That’s why, we must delve into the origin of language and ask ourselves the following questions: "Did language come directly from God as it is, or was it sent down as a framework and then developed by humans? Or is language a human invention or creation? What is the significance of language in our lives? What is language, and what is its origin? What theories have linguists developed to explain the concept of language to humans? Is it possible to say that animals use a language among themselves, or do they merely rely on sounds and signals for communication?" This study aims to clarify certain points and provide answers to these questions as much as possible. However, I do not claim to fully answer all these questions. Rather, I hope that this study will play a crucial role in addressing the remaining ambiguities in the future by other researchers.
