In what ways does spoken language differ from signed language?
What features make spoken and signed language linguistic?
What features distinguish linguistic means of communication from animal communication?
How do humans communicate with animals?
From an evolutionary point of view, how can we account for the fact that spoken language is the dominant mode of communication in all human communities around the world?
Why cannot animals really communicate linguistically?
What do the terms language "acquisition" and "transmission" really mean? What factors account for differences between language acquisition by children and by adults?
