"is the same as"

[Stefan Georg]

>>Wrong.  Language is not a biological phenomenon, but a cognitive one.

>Cognition is a biological process.  Ergo, so is language.

Language is a social phenomenon, which humans have been able to develop and
are able to use and process for purposes intimately connected with social
interaction, because they are furnished with certain cognitive abilities;
which they are, because their physis meets certain biological
prerequisites. The biological substratum furnishes the ability to develop,
use and change the tool, it doesn't determine its shape.
