When To Use
Speech is the ability to express thoughts and emotions through vocal sounds and gestures. The act of doing this is also known as speech.Speech is something only humans are capable of doing and this ability has contributed greatly to humanityās ability to develop civilization. Speech allows humans to communicate much more complex information than animals are able to.Almost all animals make sounds or noises with the intent to communicate with each other, such as mating calls and yelps of danger. However, animals arenāt actually talking to each other. That is, they arenāt forming sentences or sharing complicated information. Instead, they are making simple noises that trigger another animalās natural instincts.While speech does involve making noises, there is a lot more going on than simple grunts and growls. First, humansā vocal machinery, such as our lungs, throat, vocal chords, and tongue, allows for a wide range of intricate sounds. Second, the human brain is incredibly complex, allowing humans to process vocal sounds and understand combinations of them as words and oral communication. The human brain is essential for speech. While chimpanzees and other apes have vocal organs similar to humansā, their brains are much less advanced and they are unable to learn speech.
