    The evolution of communication has significantly changed over time alongside political, economic, and social systems. Speech developed around 200,000 years ago, symbols emerged 30,000 years ago, and writing originated 7,000 years ago, revolutionizing human communication. In more recent centuries, major developments in telecommunication have further transformed communication through technologies like semaphore systems in the 1790s and electrical communication systems in the 1830s, allowing signals to be transmitted over distance.

    Evolution of Communication

    The history of communication dates back to prehistory, with significant changes in communication technologies (media and appropriate inscription tools) evolving in tandem with shifts in political and economic systems, and by extension, systems of power. communication can range from very subtle processes of exchange, to full conversations and mass communication. Human communication was revolutionized with speech approximately 200,000 years ago. Symbols were developed about 30,000 years ago, and writing about 7,000. On a much shorter scale, there have been major developments in the field of telecommunication in the past few centuries.

    ELEMENTS
    1.-Speech is the vocalized form of human communication. It is based upon the syntactic combination of lexicals and names that are drawn from very large vocabularies. 2.- Symbols .- cave paintings , petro glyphs , pictograms , ideograms and writing (alphabet) 3.- History of telecommunication the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of communication - began thousands of years ago with the use of smoke signals and drums in Africa , America and parts of Asia . In the 1790s the first fixed semaphore systems emerged in Europe however it was not until the 1830s that electrical communication systems started to appear.

    BASIC TERMS
    Linguistics is the scientific study of human language .Linguistics can be broadly broken into three categories or subfields of study: language form, language meaning, and language in context. The first subfield of linguistics is the study of language structure, or grammar. Morphology (The formation and composition of words) Syntax (the formation and composition of phrases and sentences from these words. Phonology ( sound system) Semantics (how meaning is inferred from words and concepts) Pragmatics (how meaning is inferred from context) Applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary field of study that identifies, investigates, and offers solutions to language-related real-life problems. Some of the academic fields related to applied linguistics are education , sociology, etc.
