1- Language Is Species Specific
If we define communication loosely as a way to convey messages between individuals, we can
generalize that every species has a communication system of some sort. If the system is species
specific – that is, if it is unique to that species – the system is likely to be part of the genetic
makeup of members of the species.
No other species has a communication system like the language used by humans. There are two
ways to approach this claim, and thus meet Lenneberg’s first criterion. One is rather obvious: no
other animals talk, nor do any other animals have a gestural system with the organizational
structure of human language. The other way to address this issue is to ask whether other animals
can be taught a human communication system.
