If you own or have owned a pet such as a dog, cat, bird, etc., you probably agree that your pets communicate with you, whether through making sounds to get your attention, or through “body language” such as wiggling its tail. Nevertheless, some researchers such as your textbook author Galotti argues that such communication is not what we would call a “language.”

Explain why your pet is not a true language-user if you agree with Galotti’s viewpoints? However, if you disagree with Galotti’s viewpoints, explain why your pet does use language?
