Definition
- Humans have the remarkable capacity to express their thoughts, beliefs, and intentions through a physical medium (sounds, gestures, or pictograms) to share with others. Language's expressive power resides in the ability to express any novel thought by combining elements (e.g., cow, purple, ticklish) into a sequence that conveys that thought (e.g., a ticklish purple cow).
