Sample paragraph
Many ways of communicating exist that do
not utilize language. Cries of warning and
aggression, of contentment and affection, are
forms of communication not limited to men. Or,
on the human level, the dirty look, which may
convey worlds of meaning, does not involve
language. Gestures, too, are defined habits. The
nod of the head means yes to the American,
but a single nod in the Middle East is a clear No
plainly, there are many ways of conveying
messages, of which language is but the major one
for human beings.
