The ways in which humans communicate
Language plays an instrumental role in human communication as it had ensured our species’ survival and ability to thrive within civilizations. Notably, language exists as a universal contract that reaches an agreement of mutual comprehension during the event of two parties communicating. Without this mutual comprehension, the human brain would be less advanced than even an ant’s and this would result in quick extinction (Formigari, 2004). Although communication is a vital trait to the human species, the ultimate origin of human language has not yet been decided upon. Despite this, researchers have developed many theories as to where the specific use of human language may have originated. Many researchers …show more content…
Researchers show particular interest in this field because the grasping of language is a process that begins early in a person’s life. For example, infants start to babble and this is indicates the development that is taking place. Conversely, some studies suggest language recognition emerges when the fetus is able to identify the speech and sound patterns of the mother’s voice (Formigari, 2004). For this reason, a baby is able to distinguish a newborn is immediately able to recognize the speech patterns of their mother. Therefore, this results in infants using vocalizations and gestures to relay their intentions and is an example of preverbal …show more content…
Body language utilizes physical behavior while relaying certain feelings. Many features of this form of communication include gestures, touch, body posture, eye movement and facial expression (Phipps, 2011). Notably, body language usually complements the verbal communication whenever social interactions are necessitated. (Ford, 2010). For misunderstandings to be averted, body language should be accurately comprehended. This field of study constantly changes based on social regulations and results in constantly changing definitions. While the arguments on the origins of body language have not reached a consensus, all researchers agree that some traits are inborn and universal across the globe (Phipps, 2011). Gestures that are not universal are ones that have been learned through observation as a child. It can also be noted that the human gesture has only reached its refined form after much use and experience. For the inborn traits, one can comprehend this factor in that no one is taught how to scowl in anger, but is a natural response to
