* '''Language''' — A "System" of "Communication" using "Symbols" and "Rules" (Grammar) to "Convey Infinite Meanings."
* '''FOXP2 Gene''' — A "Gene" that is "Essential" for "Proper Speech" and "Language Development" in humans; "Mutations" in this gene cause "Speech Disorders."
* '''Vocal Learning''' — The "Ability" to "Imitate Sounds" and "Modify" them through "Practice" (Seen in 'Humans,' 'Birds,' and 'Whales').
* '''Gestural Hypothesis''' — The theory that "Language" "Evolved" first as "Hand Gestures" and "Signs" before "Moving" to the "Voice."
* '''Universal Grammar''' (Chomsky) — The theory that "All Humans" are "Born" with an "Internal Blueprint" for "How Language Works."
* '''Recursion''' — The "Ability" to "Embed" phrases inside phrases (e.g., 'The cat [that sat on the mat] ate the fish'). Many believe this is the "Secret Ingredient" of human language.
* '''The Larynx''' ("Voice Box") — In humans, the larynx is "Lowered" in the throat, allowing for a "Wide Range" of "Speech Sounds" (but also making us 'Choke' easier).
* '''Proto-Language''' — A "Primitive Version" of language (like 'Tarzan Talk') that "Pre-dated" full "Grammar."
* '''Natural Selection of Language''' (Pinker) — The belief that "Language" evolved as an "Adaptation" for "Survival" (e.g. 'Sharing complex hunting plans').
* '''Broca’s and Wernicke’s Areas''' — The "Specialized Brain Regions" (usually in the Left Hemisphere) responsible for "Producing" and "Understanding" speech.
