Title: "The Evolution of Language"
Language is a remarkable aspect of human cognition, enabling complex communication and expression of abstract ideas. It has evolved over millennia, shaping and being shaped by our culture, environment, and cognitive capabilities.
One prevailing theory posits that language emerged as a result of our ancestors' need to coordinate and collaborate in hunting and gathering activities. This theory suggests that early humans developed basic communication systems to share information about resources, threats, and strategies for survival.
As societies became more complex, so did language. It evolved from simple, gesture-based systems to include vocalisations and eventually, structured grammar and syntax. The development of written language further expanded the possibilities of human communication, allowing knowledge to be preserved and transmitted across generations.
Furthermore, languages themselves evolve and adapt to reflect cultural shifts and technological advancements. New words and expressions emerge to describe novel concepts and technologies, while obsolete terms fade into obscurity.
In the digital age, the rapid exchange of information across the globe has led to the emergence of "Internet language" characterised
by abbreviations, emojis, and internet-specific jargon. This linguistic evolution reflects the dynamic nature of language and its ability to adapt to changing communication mediums.
Question:
Based on the passage, what is one reason behind the emergence of "Internet language"?
The need for more complex grammar and syntax.
The rapid exchange of information in the digital age.
The preservation of knowledge through written language.
The influence of early hunting and gathering activities.
Answers (1)

This can be inferred from the passage, which states that in the digital age, there is a rapid exchange of information across the globe. This has led to the emergence of "Internet language" characterised by abbreviations, emojis, and internet-specific jargon. The other options are not directly supported by the information provided in the passage.
