Language as life

by sukhdev
Language is the most powerful and direct mode of symbolic communcation; no, not an instrument of commucation; it's itself communication. You can't really separate language from what it does i.e. communication. But the most problematic aspect of its existence is its cultural corelate. When people within the same linguistic community actually want to communicate, language fails them because they can not corelate the cutural paradigms of their relations: the interlocutors remain at a distance when they might be actually trying to come closer. Yet, the issue is that langauge remains the only system which can fill this void.
Int he twenty first century we have more voyages across cultures physically, and linguistically. When people meet they do not just exchange view, material goods and services but most importantly they exchange language as a system.
