Communication
A
definition of language I came across says that, language is “A systematic means
of communicating by the use of sounds or conventional symbols.”
I
found this definition in WordWeb, a virtual dictionary copyrighted by Princeton
University, USA.
In
this definition there are two components of a language.
1.
Sounds or conventional symbols –
means of communication
2.
Communication – that is the purpose
of language
Language
is often considered as a way of communication.
Alphabets,
sound, gestures or objects are used for communication.
These
are only means of communication.
