Wika versus komunikasyong panghayop Flashcards
Enumerate the mga “lamang” or design features ng wika versus komunikasyong panghayop (DDOSA)
- duality of patterning
- displacement
- Openendedness
- Stimulus-free
- Arbitrariness
Explain the duality of patterning
with panghayop counterpart
From meaningless sounds to meaningful words when mashed together.
Komunikasyong panghayop: one sound, one meaning
Explain Displacement
with panghayop counterpart (and exception)
- distance from immediate experience
- humans can express about concepts we don’t see (imagination etc.)
- Fiction, lies
panghayop: finite set of responses
Explain how animals have a finite set of responses
Kung ano lang nakikkita/naeexperience at the moment, yon lang ang kayang gawan ng expression
Explain Eternal Now concept and EXCEPTION
- No concept of distant past/future
- Animals have some sort of concept of the past pero not in par with humans
EXCEPTION: bee waggle dance of a bee remembering the exact location of food and teaching it to the hive
explain open-endedness
- It is the capabality of humans to say anything at all in any given time
- not just complex philosophical questios pero kahit yung mga nonsense na kung ano-ano
Explain Stimulus-free
- Humans do not need an external source in order to have communication
while animals are stimulus-bound
Explain Arbitrariness
- Signified and signifer does not need to be connected, social groups are able to come together and agree upon what to call something. It’s something animals can’t do
What are the exceptions to language arbitrariness?
