Communication for Communion, Part 4 (Scholar’s Call)

September 28, 2015 by David Parry No Comments

Some aspects of verbal communication don’t have any particular conceptual content to them – rather they are there to form or to maintain a connection between persons. For instance, “How are you?” is not primarily a request for information but a means of forging contact with another human being, as is asking about the weather, at least in Britain.

Communication for Communion: Language Human and Divine, Part 1 (Scholar’s Call)

September 8, 2015 by David Parry 3 Comments

Excerpt: Language is one of the things that make humans human. Whilst there are other instances of communication in the animal kingdom, some employing relatively complex sets of signals by which animals express engagement with one another and with their physical environment, we have no evidence that non-human creatures can express abstract mental concepts such as those we are discussing today.
