First the Music, then the Words
2003 · Alexander Kluge · 15 min
Lung fish and lions, nightingales and whales express themselves through sounds - they "sing". But humans alone have developed grammatically-structured language. Did the words of this language emerge individually? Or was there first a form of "language without meaning", that is, music?
