Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
Linguists believe that early men used many gestures to communicate with one another. This, it is thought, was man’s first form of communication and the only one he had used for a long period of time. Even today we use some sign language: for example, we shake our head to indicate 'yes' or 'no', we point and we wave, and so on.
The first spoken words may have been early man’s attempt to copy the sounds made by animals. Then he may have developed sounds of his own. Gradually, man may have repeated certain sounds so often that they became familiar and understandable to others. Once spoken language had begun, perhaps man invented new words as he needed them to express himself verbally or to name new objects.
The next stage is that man came to write down what he spoke. In this way we can imagine language growing. By using words, parents were able to teach them to their children. The children in turn probably made up new words. Each generation, therefore, in the development of language, knew more words than the generation before it. Language is still growing and changing. Can you think of some words that you use today that were not used by your parents or grandparents when they were children?
