Do animals also try to communicate with people?

Absolutely! Our domesticated pets are excellent examples of animals who consistenty try to communicate with humans.
Any caring person who’s ever been on the receiving end of intense shining eyes, alert ears, and wagging tails can usually comprehend the message they’re trying to communicate -- I want a treat, let’s play, let’s go for a walk, let’s go for a ride in the car. Or a pet may communicate that he or she needs to go outdoors, wants dinner, or wants an ear or body massage.
Our pets often have to add some body language when they express their thoughts in order to accurately get their messages across to us.

Animal communication is a great tool to use to find out what your animal companion is thinking or feeling, what their needs are, how they’re handling relationships with another person or pet, how they feel about a particular place or a situation in their lives, or what their lives were like before they came to live with you.

History of communications

Communicating information always has been extremely important.  Throughout history, some information has had value beyond measure.  The lack of information often costs huge amounts of money and, sometimes, many lives.

From the beginning of human history, information traveled only as fast as a ship could sail. Or a horse could run. Or a person could walk.

People experimented with other ways to send messages.  Some people tried using birds to carry messages.  Then they discovered it was not always a safe way to send or receive information.

A faster method finally arrived with the invention of the telegraph.  The first useful telegraphs were developed in Britain and the United States in the eighteen thirties.

The telegraph was the first instrument used to send information using wires and electricity.  The telegraph sent messages between two places that were connected by telegraph wires.  The person at one end would send the information.  The second person would receive it.

On November second, nineteen twenty, radio station KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania broadcast the first radio program.  That broadcast gave the results of a presidential election.

In the nineteen fifties, two important events took place that greatly affected the communication of information.  The first was a television broadcast that showed the East Coast and the West Coast of the United States at the same time.  A cable that carried the pictures linked the two coasts.  So people watching the program saw the Pacific Ocean on the left side of the screen.  They saw the Atlantic Ocean on the right side of the screen.

 The number of radio and television stations around the world increased.  It became harder for a dictator to control information.

Communicating With Your Baby

Your baby's first year will be a flurry of changes -- and not just diapers. From the first smiles, gurgles, and coos to learning to say "mama" or "dada," babies love to communicate with their own form of baby talk. And they hope you'll "baby talk" right back.

Long before they can speak clearly, babies understand the general meaning of what you're saying. They also absorb your emotional tone. Encourage your baby's early attempts to communicate with you with your loving attention:

• Smile often at your baby, especially when your baby is cooing, gurgling, or otherwise vocalizing with baby talk.
• Look at your baby as he or she babbles and laughs, rather than looking away, interrupting, or talking with someone else.
• Be patient as you try to decode your infant's baby talk and noverbal communication like facial expressions, gurgling, or babbling sounds that could signal either frustration or joy.
• Make time to give your baby lots of loving attention, so your baby can "speak" to you with his or her baby talk, even when you're busy with other tasks.

Baby Talk: Imitate Your Baby

Right from the start, baby talk should be a two-way street. By imitating your baby, you'll send an important message: what your baby is feeling and trying to communicate matters to you.

• Have back-and-forth conversations in baby talk to teach your baby the give-and-take of adult conversation.
• Imitate your baby's vocalizations -- "ba-ba" or "goo-goo" -- then wait for your baby to make another sound, and repeat that back.
• Do your best to respond, even when you don't understand what your baby is trying to say.
• Reinforce communication by smiling and mirroring your baby's facial expressions.
• Because gestures are a way babies try to communicate, imitate your baby's gestures, as well.

• Babies love to hear you talk -- especially to them, and especially in a warm, happy voice. Babies learn to speak by imitating the sounds they hear around them. So the more you talk to your baby, the faster your baby will acquire speech and language skills.

How do ants communicated

Some insects, such as ants, bees, and termites, live in organized communities and are considered social insects. Ants are one of the most highly developed of the social insects. They live in colonies where their members are divided into a clearly defined caste system, which includes queens, workers and males. Each ant has its own purpose and duties within the colony. There are over 10,000 kinds of ants, with unique characteristics, such as the slave makers who raid the nests of other ants for their young, or dairying ants which capture certain insects and keep them to be milked of liquids. Ants will go to war and raid other ant colonies, even within their own type. Being a social insect, they must communicate with others within their colony, to send warnings of danger or signal the location of a food supply.

Can Horses Help Kids with Emotional and Behavioral Issues?

Kids with emotional and behavioral issues can be difficult to work with. Most of them are slow to trust adults, and may be unwilling to trust anyone at all. In addition, if the emotional or behavioral issues are caused by abuse, the child could be angry and prone to emotional outbursts. Cognitive therapy that includes an equine assisted program can be of great benefit to this type of person.

A child's responses to the horses can also provide excellent insight into the child's opinions of self and of others, especially authority figures.

Equine assisted therapy offers kids with emotional and behavioral issues a safe environment in which to work through issues of fear, anxiety, self-doubt, and poor communication. By teaching the child how to work with and communicate with the horse, the therapist will be indirectly teaching the child how to apply these same skills in inter-personal relationships.

Read verbal communicaton

Para-verbal communication can be decipheredby paying more attention to the following voice features:

tone of voice increasing tones express adose of safety while decreasing inflectionsshow insecurity. 
pauses between words and phrases bothtransmit clues about the speaker’sintentions and attitudes.
speech speed may be slow (250 syllables / min), normal (300 syllables / min) or fast(500 syllables / min). A fast paced speechshow that the speaker is unsure anddisorganized. He knows what he wants to say but he’s talking fast because he wants to get rid of the words because he does not feel comfortable when speaking. While an average pace expresses  safety, the speakerknows that what has to say is just asimportant to everyone as it is for him.Neither a slow pace is not desirable because it gives the impression of lowintelligence.

voice volume show speakers authority, itspower of persuasion and the ability to belistened to.
other sounds (onomatopoeia, moan,scream, grunt, sigh, laugh) are designed to complement the verbal message wheremoods are too strong or words are lackingfor the moment.

A subcomponent of verbal language is Metalanguagemeaning “words behind words”.This enables us to manipulate without others to perceive while remaining  well-mannered. The most common 10 metawords:

“On my honor, Honestly“ shows that the speaker will not be honest.

“Ok?“ and “Yes?” placed at the end ofsentence forces the listener to agree withwhat was said.

“Only“ is used to minimize the significanceof what is to be said.
“Just“ is used to alleviate the guilt of a person or to deflect culpability for certainundesirable consequences.
“I am trying” in free translation means they have doubts about their ability to do that something and it is used by people that usually don’t get things done.
“Yes but“ tries to avoid intimidation by simulating an agreement.
“But” signals that the person was nothonest up to that point and contradicts the words that precede it.
“Believe me” announces a lie that will be asbigger as convincing it sounds.
“Sure,”  wants to let it know that everyoneagrees with him.
“I wish I could hope for“ - is a wise way toprovide no opinion.

Place the head or paw on the back of another dog : a gesture of authority, as saying " I'm in charge here ."
Collect objects in the mouth : an example of this is when the dog gets teeth belt to walk, this is a challenge of power and may indicate that the dog does not accept the human as pack leader .

Why women talk more than men ?

According to research, women have to comply with its approximately 20,000 words a day, no more and no less than 13,000 words more than men .
This is absolutely conditioned by a biological component . To be clear , researchers at the University of Maryland, have found that the FOXP2 protein is the culprit . In general, women have high levels of FoxP2 , also known as " protein language"
To reach these surprising findings, the researchers analyzed the linguistic behavior of ten children between three and five years. Different tests showed that girls were 30 % more children FOXP2 protein. It is also important to note that Foxp2 is located in a key area for the development of the language of human beings brain.
 the discovery of the action of FOXP2 has reminded researchers that previous studies concluded that girls learn to speak earlier than boys , and internalize language combinations faster than them.

Types of language

It is large and diverse as cultures evolve , for example :

Oral language is the most used by humans regardless of language.

Written Language: The representation of thought by conventional signs graphics

Visualor Graphic: within these types of languages, depending on the interpretation that gives each individual to perceive certain images or graphics .

Textual Language: The set of words that make up a document or writing in general.

Sign Language: It is the expression of a face is the reflection of a mood.

Artistic language.

Virtual or programming language: language used in computers.

Language Transcripts: That which is transmitted in writing as listening to a word or a conversation or text.

Mathematical language: the expression measurements and calculations, which has its own language .

Articulated Language: Known as the way people communicate , or those types of language laws or articles identified by content as expressly found in the charter or constitution of a country. Or within regulations.

Sign Language

Sign language helps to bridge the gap between those who can hear and those who cannot. Using a collection of hand gestures and symbols, sign language is an effective means of communication that provides the deaf and those hard of hearing a way interact with the world around them. Learning and understanding sign language isn't just for the hearing impaired—it's also for those interested in being able to communicate with the hearing impaired. Sign language is not difficult to learn, and surveys show that a need for those who can use sign language is growing in business and around the world. Many colleges and universities have developed degrees programs in sign language to fill this need.

History tells us that the hearing impaired were once thought inferior to those who were not, but many hearing impaired or deaf people have made significant contributions to society. If these people were not given the ability to communicate with the world through sign language, then the gifts they had for society could never be shared.

Do animals can talk?

Practically all animals communicate each other to be recognized, hunt, be warned of dangers, show affection or enmity, but the language is more than that communication. 

According to Robin Dunbar language is uniquely human. Are some doubts about the dolphins, for example, but all other primates and terrestrial animals exhibit some forms of language in primitive forms, they are far from the complexity of the information exchanged between humans. It is possible to teach other animals to recognize and even imitate human speech. Dogs can learn 20 to 30 words and parrots play them, but no dog is able to speak voluntarily and parrots do not seem to distinguish between reproducing words and imitate other sounds. The process of voluntary speech is quite another thing.
