LANGUAGE They’re all here… Where are languages?
LANGUAGE can be viewed as a structuring of cognitive units that can be transmitted among individuals for the purpose of communicating information (Goldstein, Byrd, and Saltzman 2006, p. 215 ‘Human LANGUAGE is based on an elementary property that also seems to be biologically isolated: the property of discrete infinity.’ -Noam Chomsky (2000:3)
