Explanation:

Language is basically a system of communication where sound or

signs convey objects, actions and ideas. The history of language dates back

to many thousands of years. Language is primarily spoken not written. But

the development of the writing medium and later the printing system went a

long way is the dissipation of knowledge and without which humans would

have remained in the dark about the ways of life and the thought processes of

their ancestors. Language is the key to human lives. They can eliminate

misunderstanding by using it as an instrument to transfer communication among

people. Malinowski suggests, language is "the necessary means of communion;

it is the one indispensable instrument for creating the ties of the moment

without which unified social action is impossible."1

Language can thus be

said to be at the core of humanity.

Language is an extraordinary gift of God. It is part of what makes man

fully human. In fact, Aristotle says man is a rational animal and that what sets

him apart, what raises him above the animals, is that he has the ability to

reason, and it is very clear that he cannot reason without language. "Aristotle

was convinced, however, that meaning was no less an integral part of language

than the sounds which bear the meaning and that language depends no less on

the rational powers of man by which meanings are constructed than on thephysiological organs by which sounds are formed."2

Language is necessary

in order for man to be a rational creature.

In other words language is what made the growth of civilizations

possible. The only means of understanding the great minds of the past is by

studying the contemporary written documents of the time. Language is a means

of forming and storing ideas as reflections of reality and exchanging them in

the process of human intercourse. Language is social by nature and thus

inseparably connected with people who are its creators and users; it grows

and develops together with the development of society. Stalin observes about

language, "It arises and develops with the rise and development of a society.

It dies when the society dies. Apart from society there is no language."3

Much has been said about the relationship between language and

society. In the history of linguistics, it is rare to find investigations of any

language which are entirely cut off from concurrent investigations of the history

of that language, or of its regional and social distributions, or of its relationship

to objects, ideas, events, and actual speakers and listeners in the 'real' world.

It is believed that "Man's relation with the society is so intimate and close that

it is very difficult to isolate him from the social environment in which he is

born, nurtured and grown to be a man."4 .
