Introduction
The duality of human language when compared to the single fixed form of animals’ communication or language is paramount as a means of communication simply because of the limitation that is inherently present in the latter. (adapted from Yule, pg 12) Animal language cannot convey to the listener a past experience or a future desire. How intriguing it would be however if animals could do so! They can not and therefore are limited in their effectiveness of communication that was born with them. Instinctively animals’ language has a set of specific signals that become an automatic response conversely to human language acquired by cultural transmission. (adaped from Yule, pg 11) Human’s can convey their thoughts and intents about the past, present, and the future with the use of displacement complimented by an infinite vocabulary
