Language as a system for communication is the capability that any living creature owns, like men, plant or animals, in order to express, communicate and act with those around. Communication is based on models of communication1 that allow us to decode and understand the nature of language meanings where we related.

Body

Communication have proven different characteristics that do it interpretative and expressive by various sources of communication, for example linear models, entropy, negative entropy and redundancy. Also there is non-vocal communication1 (signals, signs, symbols, icons, gestures, and proxemics) and vocal communication.
