Preview of the next uniFOKUS, March 2026: Language
We use language when we speak, write, think, and listen. It helps us express our inner thoughts and connect with our surroundings. But what exactly is language? Are humans the only ones who use it? In the upcoming issue of uniFOKUS, we examine language as a biological phenomenon, a technological tool, a means of communication, and a reflection of social developments. We explore how language emerges, disappears, and changes, as well as how it shapes us and our society. It's an approach to a topic that not only describes reality but also helps create it.
