Well it makes sense
A slow tempo is… slow. A quick tempo is upbeat and attracts attention
Only humans have language. Inter-species communication is nothing special. Rattlesnakes are named for their ability to communicate cross species.
Only humans have language.
A rattlesnake can certainly communicate using sound, but is that language? Bright colors can communicate ideas of “do not eat this” across species as well, but they wouldn’t fit my mental model of a language.
what is language than making sounds to convey meaning and then decoding said sounds to understand their meaning
human language is incredibly complex but a bee just buzzing a particular buzz that means “bear nearby” counts as a valid form of linguistic communication imo
Bees actually dance to communicate and it’s considered a language 😄
