Abstract
The outstanding position of mankind rests to a great extent on their given talent to form and understand conscious ideas, to choose words as carriers to sematic meaning and in general of thoughts and to produce and understand these as spoken language. It appears, if we believe in the genesis, that the divine breath which represents the sole remarkable difference between the human and animal energy systems and information-processing systems, is mirrored partially in the excellent communication ability via our voice-producing and hearing organs. The difference between the performance of the human and animal visual systems is not so large by far. Nor is the visual system able to analyze such a distinctly time-variable process which speech represents ; spoken words are rapid, singular events ; they can practically never be articulated identically a second time.
