Please, could somebody help me with my grammar? This is a paragraph I wrote: Could you communicate without language? A language is a system of signs which can be symbols, indices or icons. These signs permit us to communicate with other people, either in written, mimic or oral form. The language was born when humans had the ability to use these signs as language; since that moment its study started and continues until nowadays. In this essay you can read about language, origin, characteristics, language as sound, linear language, systematic language, language as system of systems, significant language, arbitrary language, conventional language and creative language.
