What we call language is something more specific than communication

What we call language is something more specific than communication.Language is about sharing what in our minds:stories, opinions, questions, the past or future,imagined times or places, ideas.It is fundamentally open-ended,and can be used to say an unlimited number of things.Many researchers are convinced that only humans have language,that the calls and gestures other species use to communicate are not language.Each of these calls and gestures generally corresponds to a specific message,for a limited total number of messages that aren combined into more complex ideas.
