LANGUAGE FOR BLIND

BRAILLE...

Braille method of printing books for the blind based on a system of raised dots on paper engraved by hand or machine to be read by touch. Each letter, number or punctuation is defined by the number and location of the six possible points of each group (a group having two points three points wide and high). The Braille alphabet also can write and read music. The dots are recorded by the back of the paper in reverse, to be read by the front of the same in the normal reading direction. Blind Braille can be written on a blackboard with a style or using a Perkins (similar to a typewriter) machine.

It is based on a symbol consisting of 6 points: those that are embossed represent a letter or sign the writing on visual characters. Importantly, it is not a language but a code. Therefore, properties and syntax are the same as for visual characters. 

The size and distribution of the 6 points that make the call sign generator, is not a fad but the fruit of the experience of Louis Braille. The nerve endings in the fingertip are trained to capture this particular size. 

  But this sign allows only 64 combinations of points, being insufficient for the whole range of letters, symbols and numbers in each language. This limitation will require the invention of so-called "double symbols", to be discussed later. Attempt to use a braille symbol 8 points (which would significantly increase the number of possible combinations), but was uncomfortable for reading and forced to march finger each symbol to understand what they meant.

COMMUNICATION FOR THE DEAF...

Fingerspelling system. 

Actually consists of speaking by changing position of the fingers that are accompanied by slight movements of the hand. Each letter has a shape that is made on the palm of the deafblind person (if you have enough residual vision can also be done in air). 

The manual alphabet or finger spelling is a communication system used by the group of deafblind people. It is based on and is very similar to that used by the Deaf Community, but with a fundamental difference: Deaf people running on the visual version (since their communication is visual), ie, in the air, in space, while deafblind people can use in visual or touch version (depending on their residual vision and the quality thereof).

Communication between humans...

Communication is an essential part among human beings as these are social by nature and her need to express their feelings and emotions. Communication is the basis of any society of any time or place. Communication helps us a lot to solve problems if we use it correctly, it also means learning to share knowledge that can help us to improve our quality of life. People must learn to communicate and know that it succeed in fulfilling many goals throughout your life. The problems between people and between nations occur mainly by poor communication, in which the parties do not suggest the message they wish to convey. 

Communication gives us strength to get on in society. People learn to communicate primarily in our home since this is the first school in which we learn all the basics, such as the values ​​that are fundamental to communication. In our lives from birth use communication but not the verbal type, but to achieve publicize our needs we use non-verbal, this is the other type of communication, and both are of great importance for humanity. 

Communication strongly influences our development and helps us grow as individuals through learning. 

In conclusion, communication is essential for life and is used for many things, it is also helpful to improve ourselves as individuals and that through it throughout our lives we gain knowledge and experience that will help us to solve problems in a correct and simple. 

Anyway communication arises from the need.

COMMUNICATION OF ANTS...

The ants go to war and steal other ant colonies, even of the same type. Being a social insect, must communicate with other members of their colony ants, to warn of danger or indicate the location of a reserve alimentos.Las ants build nests in leaves or plants will give a hit with your gasters (tail ant) to the outer wall of the nest to indicate a hazard or make it known to his fellow colony have discovered a food reserve. Said forward stroke vibrations along the nest. Some ants squeak or buzz rubbing parts of their bodies, indicating a warning of danger or a request for help to transport food.

Ants also communicate by scent. They have glands on different parts of the body, which release a chemical called pheromone. The type of message you want to communicate or Food- -Danger determine the gland used to release the pheromone. They can use pheromones to leave a trail that will lead to other colony to a newly discovered food reserve.

With the antenna, the ants smell. After determining whether they are from the same colony, they may greet a strange ritual that includes ants stand facing each other, clasping mouths. Then, an ant regurgitates a drop of liquid at the mouth of the other.

Communication of birds...

Birds use songs and call notes and produce behavior, to communicate with each other. Birds use sound and action to ward off predators or warn of the danger to other birds to attract mates or defend their territory. 

Another common form of communication among birds are called notes. Most birds communicate aurally, although some are noisier than others, and each species of bird has a variety of call notes to convey different messages. 

Other birds also communicate with their behavior. In many bird species, the male dance, march or take other action to attract a female.
