The origin of language

1. THE ORIGIN OF
LANGUAGE

3. THE BOW WOW THEORY
 It is the earliest known speech produced by man
 It tries to imitate some characteristic sound of a creature (or) object she/he
is referring to
 The young child also adopts the similar method of expression
 This is that thing that distinguishes a dog from any other animal is its bark
 Since it is the only animal that say Bow Wow, & so soon the child begins
to call it as a Bow Wow
 Some theorists believe that this would have been the beginnings of a
language indeed
 Some root words seem to go back to the very ancient time to support this
theory
 Words like Snake has a hissing sound, Wind has a whistling sound, Water
has a liquid sound, & also the property of Onomatopoeic elements also
play a major part in it too.

5.  This theory is associated with the German scholar, &
philologist Max Müller
 This theory holds the beginnings of a language that are found
to be in the sense of a rhythm
 In simple terms this theory is all about imitation
 Imitation of movements rather than sound
 This theory may connect us to the origin of sounds
 Bücher puts it as a primitive speech, and it has gradually
developed ever since
 In its very first stages it was simple rhythmical hum (or)
chant

7.  It is emotional
 it is evoked by
Pain,
Surprise,
Pleasure,
&
Pain.
At 1st the pooh pooh theory just illustrated the sayings of
contempt, & disgust
.

9. THEGESTURETHEORY
 Wilhelm Wundt, & Sir. Richard Paget talks about this theory
in the book Human Speech
 Earliest method of communication it is and was done by
signs, & gestures made with hands
 It is really NATURAL, & fast
 Every gesture came to be displaced by the corresponding
tongue, lip, (or) jaw gesture, & so thus is how man passed
from language of signs to the language of the spoken form

10.  Lift up your ARM to point UPWARDS you can also notice
your TONGUE also to raise UP
 Sir Percy Nunn develops this same theory
 Say I, & now YOU do you feel your lips to pin point to
yourself? Same does your finger would also do too
 Now the words You, & Thou is done with the
movement toward the people u are addressing to
 the same is also seen with the words Here, & There
too
