The Speech of Monkeys
·

CHAPTER
XIX.
Language
embraces
Speech--Speech,
Words,
Grammar,
and
Rhetoric.
A
definition
of
the
word
speech
as
used
in
this
particular
work
is
given
elsewhere,
and
by
this
definition
the
word
is
used
only
in
that
sense
which
limits
it
to
the
sphere
of
oral
sounds.
It
is
that
form
of
language
which
addresses
itself
only
to
the
ear.
The
sounds
which
constitute
it
may
be
supplemented
by
signs
or
gestures,
but
such
signs
are
only
adjuncts,
and
are
not
to
be
regarded
as
an
integral
part
of
speech
in
its
true
sense.
Speech
cannot
be
acquired
by
those
forms
of
life
which
occupy
the
lowest
horizons
of
the
animal
kingdom,
and
have
no
organs
with
which
to
produce
sound.
In
the
light
of
modern
use
and
acceptation
language,
broadly
interpreted,
includes
all
modes
and
means
of
communication
between
mind
and
mind.
It
therefore
includes
speech
as
one
form,
while
signs
or
gestures
constitute
another
form.
Writing
in
all
its
various
modes
is
another
form
of
language.
It
may
be
substituted
for
either
speech
or
gestures,
but
it
does
not
thereby
become
speech
in
a
literal
sense,
but
within
itself
it
constitutes
another
form
of
language.
There
seems
to
be
some
vague
and
subtle
method
of
communication
found
in
certain
spheres
of
life
which
is
called
telepathy.
While
it
is
a
mere
ghost
of
language,
so
to
speak,
it
has
an
identity
which
cannot
be
denied.
This
may
perhaps
be
called
another
form
of
language.
