Language and its Importance to Society | Essay Article shared by : <="" div=""> Essay on Language and its Importance to Society! Language and Society From what has been written so far it is clear that man is possessed of natural sociality. His disposition to band together with his fellows for lower or for higher purposes is one of his fundamental characteristics. To understand his fellows and to be understood by them men were impelled to the production of language without which they could not communicate with each other. ADVERTISEMENTS: The desire of communication was the main cause of language making. Nowhere has the old proverb “Necessity is the mother of invention” received a better illustration than in the history of language; it was to satisfy the wants of daily life that the faculty of speech was first exercised. Charles Winick has defined language as “a system of arbitrary vocal symbols the people of the world nearer to each other thereby serving the cause of international understanding and cooperation. No doubt a universal language may help in the cultural unification of the people of the world and remove misunderstanding that grow out of inability to communicate effectively but the practical difficulty is to find out such a language. The proponents of different languages claim that ‘their language is better than any other language and that it alone provides a more efficient means of communication that it is more explicit more logical more flexible and far more easier to master. Efforts have also been made to improve the existing languages to make them more simplified and logical. But as yet no universal single language has been agreed upon and consequently the linguistic differences continue. It is also difficult for any people to learn more readily any other language than the mother-tongue.
