    We can change an utterance by 1 one word in it with 2 : a good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g., “tanks approaching from the north”, 3 who can change one word and say “aircraft approaching from the north” or “tanks approaching from the west”; but a bird has a single alarm cry, 4 means “danger!”
