According to Merriam Webster’s Dictionary, sound is a  “meaningful sound as produced by the action of the vocal organs (2) : a systematic means of communicating ideas or feelings by the use of conventionalized signs, sounds, gestures, or marks having understood meanings”. Interesting…Something we already know right? Something that really interests me about language is the fact that it has so many aspects, its not just vocal as one may presume… Its a ”  a systematic means of communicating ideas or feelings by the use of conventionalized signs, sounds, gestures, or marks having understood meanings”. This means that people don’t really have to communicate through the use of sound. Something interested that I read was the fact that “People cannot communicate without the use of gestures”. I find this to be SO true. Gestures are such an important part communication. Keneally makes a compelling argument when she brings up that gestures exist amongst mammals, making it a primitive feature. I have never thought about that this from such a perspective. Could it really be true that humans have not evolved enough to leave our primitive nature? It makes me wonder if humanity will ever evolve far enough to leave its primitive ancestry… For some reason I cant help keep thinking about Maslows Pyramid of Hierarchal needs…
