It's certainly true that ther= are all kinds of information transfer.

Would it be appropriate to ask why chemical signals are not "merely a signal for internal use", just like elec=rical, linguistic, other? I don't think so.

And crucially, =nvestigation of the nature of language has, I think, yielded mounting and =ignificant evidence that in the design of language externalization altogether is a peripheral property, largely a reflex of whatever sensory =odality is used, hence special uses such as communication even more so.
