 On the basis of empirical research into the multimodal communication of animals, Eva Meijer (2019) has recently argued that, far from being obviously true, it is anthropocentric to restrict the term “language” to human forms of communication. Instead, she suggests using the Wittgensteinian notion of language games to articulate a notion of language that is not fixed and universal, but instead incorporates many different forms of communication that bear a family resemblance without having any one common characteristic. This notion of language games can include much more than just verbal communication, seeing language instead as something that is embodied, open-ended, ever-changing and embedded in practices of co-creating meaning, something that need not exclude animals.
