The ability of animals to communicate with each other is very obvious, but the ability of an animal to have a language is not present. There is no denying that any animal found in the wild or in captivity can use some form of communication; the inability of humans to understand or comprehend the noises is the reason people disagree that animals have language, though.

Quote 1
"In one experiment, a hive of bees was placed at the foot of a radio tower and food source was placed at the top. Ten bees were taken to the top, shown the food source, and sent off to tell the rest of the hive about their find. The message was conveyed via bee dance and the whole gang buzzed off to get the free food." (Animals and Human Language 11)

This proves that animals can communicate. I will use this statement to support the argument that animals can communicate with each other. When the bees dance they are signaling by the direction they dance which way the food is so the other bees can go feed as well.

Quote 2
"Among other creatures, each communicative signal appears to be a single fixed form that cannot be broken down into separate parts." (Animals and Language 12)

This is another statement supporting the fact that animals can communicate. It also leads into the point that animal's communication is not complex. It is a simple repititon of the same sounds for the same meaning. The meanings are usually not new, but ones that have been used over and over. These meanings would mostly be about food, mating, and other native actions.

Quote 3
"You could keep your horse in a field of cows for years, but it still won't say Moo." (Animals and Human Language 15)

Animals can communicate, that is supported through much evidence; however, the diversity of the communication is poor. Dogs can only communicate with other dogs, and cows can only understand other cows. This leads to a point that animals have different forms of communication. They have different biological limits in communicating, so a cow cannot understand a horse or a chicken on a farm.
