THE IMPORTANCE OF SPOKEN LANGUAGE

Singin´ in the rain is a film created in 1952. That film is really interesting because it´s the first time where playback appear in the cinema. It shows the importance of spoken language.





When Don and Lina's latest film is transformed into a musical, Don has the perfect voice for the songs. But Lina - well, even with the best efforts of a diction coach, they still decide to dub over her voice. Kathy Selden is brought in, an aspiring actress, and while she is working on the movie, Don falls in love with her. Will Kathy continue to "aspire", or will she get the break she deserves ?

IS IT REAL OR NOT?

Is this creature able to understand? There is a lot of spoken language directed by humans, apparently under the impression that the animal follows what is being said. For example a variety of circus animals go Up, Down and Roll over in response to spoken comands. And in this case Einstein dances, makes answers, makes some particular sounds etc. Should be treat the examples as evidence that non-humans can understand human language? Acourding to numerous studies probably not. The standard explanation is that the animal produces a particular behavior in response to a particular sound-stimulus or "noise", but does not actually "understand" what the words in the noise mean.

DO YOU IMAGINE THAT IT COULD BE REAL?

One question that we have thought sometimes along our life is if humans can communicate with animals. This clip show us that it's possible but I have to point that is only a film. However, if it could happen in the real life... What would you do? Would you like or not? Do you think that it would serve for something?








Dr.Dolittle is a 1998 American family comedy film starring Eddie Murphy as a doctor who discovers that he has the ability to talk (and understand animals.
It´s fun to see the reaction of Doctor Dolittle and his friends and animals becouse is something totally unreal.
