Seems I opened quite a can of worms with by my first e-mail.
Perhaps I should have suggested "Drawing as Communication". We use words
(per lingua) to convey ideas. We illustrate, and by definition, convey ideas
by drawing. Other art forms, music, dance etc., also convey ideas.
My own work uses drawing as a monochrome medium to convey ideas etc. I post
some of it on my Blog from time to time (along with some other stuff I
hasten to add.) If you want to take a look hit this:

Dear Michael:
Another unapropriate use of the word language. You can say body expression.
Def language is not what we usually refer as "body language". Once is coded,
it starts to function as language.
"Body language" is responsible for most of my teenage missfortunes. If it
was really a language it would have save me a lot of energy. :-)
Best,
Eduardo

Dear All:
There are some tough questions when you face an expression such as "drawing
as language".
One is, obviously: If drawing were a language we would call it language and
not drawing.
In fact drawing as a language (as a communicational device) relies on its
non-linguistic power to communicate.

I think drawing is used as a universal, yet unofficial, language more than
is generally realised.
