More-than-human Languages

It has long been thought that only people use symbolic signs to communicate, but it is now clear that animals, insects and plants do the same. All bodies, including those of humans, also use chemical, physical and material signals. In order to be able to cooperate with other species, we need to understand the way in which other-than-human beings communicate. This may enable us to make connections and prevent human language alone from determining how we understand other beings.

The More-Than-Human Languages learning trail aims to gain insight into the languages of all beings with whom humans must be able to communicate in order to really live and work together.
