Verbal language allows conceptualization, abstraction and reflection to take place.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

FIVE LANGUAGES. “Science makes use of the spoken word, writing and mathematics. The practice of computing makes use of the skills of spoken language, writing, mathematics, and science. And finally, the development of the Internet, the language of the Information Age, required all five of the languages that preceded it, namely speech, writing, mathematics, science and computing.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn
