It hadn't occurred to me...I get it now, Seydou. It hadn't occurred to me to think of language as an innate characteristic of what it means to be human. Thanks for the link you sent me.... If anyone out there reads french you can check it out http://www.devoir-de-philosophie.com/dissertation-langage-invention-humaine-105998.html <br /><br />I think that I still do consider language a human invention. I think that one day, our ancestors had the idea to establish commonly understood specific meanings for specific noises.... it radically changed our everyday lives and ability to survive and create.<br /><br />There's a line in that article that says "Culture distinguishes man from the rest of nature." When I read that I realized how telling this question is: I don't think we should distinguish man from the rest of nature, but I do see that that's a generally held belief. I think it's created plenty problems for us.<br /><br />Now that I think about it a little more, I'm realizing this question is really deep and can tell us a lot about the way that people view the world and human's place in it. Thanks for bringing it up!Kate @comfreybogart on IGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09568078437690303549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723607160034009270.post-49457006981145376052013-03-09T06:54:00.492-08:002013-03-09T06:54:00.492-08:00I told you the day we were in the restaurant that ...I told you the day we were in the restaurant that i do not think that language is an invention... and i (still) remember you were out of words to explain what you were meaning.
