Language is not just "communication" and not every communication is language. Bees and ants communicate information chemically, but they're not using a structured language. Dogs may growl to intimidate or yelp if they get hurt, and that surely communicates information, but whether they are using a structured language is a matter of research.

- foltik 2y agoBut isn’t what whatever we call language just a few more levels of recursion in fundamentally the same continuous process?
