Expert Solution
Step 1

Language is a complex system of communication that humans use to convey thoughts, feelings, and information to one another. It involves the use of words and grammar to create meaningful messages, which can be spoken or written. Unlike other animals, humans have the ability to use language in a highly flexible and creative way, allowing us to express a wide range of ideas and concepts. The study of language in humans is a multifaceted field that draws on insights from psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, and other disciplines to explore the many different aspects of this fascinating ability.
