The Term Paper on Early Language and Development
Language is a complex and abstract endeavor, wonderfully creative at the same time governed by a multitude of rules. Before the age of 1 year, babies communicate with intent, primarily through the use of body orientation, facial expressions, gestures, and nonsymbolic vocalizations that mimic the intonations of their native language. At the end of the first year, however, many babies are beginning ...

The Essay on Properties of Language, According to Linguistics
Language, we use it everyday, but what exactly defines “language? ” Are there generalizations to be made of all languages? Does everyone learn language same way?
