To what extent do animals have language?

Language - is a system that helps one to express thoughts and feelings by sounds and signs and form relationship with other language. Language is not always verbal, some animals communicate using sign language. It is also helps the animals to detect danger or  warn other animals of the danger. Principles for combining words into meaningful sentences. It is also a combination of different sounds and collection of words. 

I think that animals have language, because without language they couldn't express their feelings and emotions, communicate with other animals by movement and sounds, form relationships or protect themselves and their families. 

Animals can't speak because they don't have physical ability, however animals like parrots can imitate sounds that they remember.

Language and Sense Perception

How do language and sense perception connect?

It is clear that somehow language and sense perception is connected. Usually when we perceive information through our senses, when can describe it or when someone describes something we can easily imagine it. Therefore, language is usually the tool with witch the sense perception is described. In order to better understand the sense perception and convey it to others, language is needed.

What is the Role of Sense Perception in Science

How is sense perception used in your science class?

• Smell

• Sight 
• Observing a colour change; when observing the rate of the enzyme activity
• Touching
• Feeling different surfaces
