Information on Language

As i had said before, the topic of discussion that affects social patterns that i am looking at is Language. Onomatopoeia was something that i was looking at which is the imitation of sounds, such as “BANG, WHOOSH, SLITHER” etc 

I found this topic interesting as this kind of language is used in almost every language. An idea was that humans developed there language from imitating the sounds around them in their environment, as well as the animals that they would encounter.

There are some flaws to this theory though as “if humans gave names to things by their sounds, what about the objects that made no sounds?”. But generally, this verbally descriptive and visual way to record the sound of the word itself, i think is a universal means of communication.

Things i did look at though was that, for instance, when a the onomatopoeic word “Bow-wow” gets translated into other languages, many different sounds. Such as :Wau-wau = GermanOuaf ouaf = FrenchVoff voff = IcelandGuk guk = IndonesianGuau Guau = Spanish  My might not understand them now, but perhaps with a verbal demonstration, we would get the gist of the sound and what it would belong to.
