What is language?
Language is the most common, natural, and constitutional phenomenon among human beings and at the same time one of the greatest mysteries that we have developed. Everyone uses it. Even small children at the age of two are already able to produce language. It is so intrinsic to us that we cannot imagine our life, culture, or let's say, modern world without verbal language. However, language is not only about words and sentences, but rather about sharing ideas and meaning through different forms of signs, which could be visual, sonic, tactile, etc.
Here you can enjoy a lecture from Steven Pinker, renowned linguist and Harvard Psychology Professor:
