Language and Thought

Language is the thread that connects a person’s thoughts and ideas with other person’s in the form of communication. It is the backbone for communication. Communication turns out to be effective when language acts as a best platform in carrying the thoughts of the speaker and conveying it aptly to the listener in a comprehensive and lucid manner. In this case, language speaks a person’s thoughts and ideas, which, when successfully reaches the other person, builds in a kind of sociable relationship between them. Hence, such a sociable relationship is parallel to the communication tendency which leads its way to one’s language usage.

Sociability and Language

Sociability among people is as important as language is for communication. The bond that has sociability as its essence paves way for the interpersonal relationship which is otherwise the human relationship. Interpersonal relationships are social associations or connections between two or more people. With those as background, each one is affected by the presence of other people, forms relationships with other people, join groups with masses, and behaves in certain ways towards members of his/her own and other groups. This relationship is governed entirely by language, in order for that to be sustained.
