Can my dog ask questions- and how would my cat answer? A traditional debate concerns whether language is a unique human faculty. While communication systems are common – cetaceans whistle and sing, songbirds and parrots are vocal learners, bees convey information about energy sources- the specific properties of human language, involving finite mental means to socially yield unbounded messages, have not been easy to find in other species. This course delves into the question of whether this quality is unique to humans.
