Abstract

No civilization at all could exist unless people had some means of making known their thoughts and getting others to work and act with them. Man is a social being and commu­nication with others is an imperative need. Expression of some kind is natural and necessary in order to carry on intercourse with others. Language is the great means of communication. It is the channel through which thought and. feeling flow. Thought and language are interdependent. Clear thinking is almost as dependent on correct words as exact words are on clear thinking.
