What role does language plays in communication?
Well, in most cases, someone can completely take what you are saying to mean the complete opposite. For example, Bob says to Jim that his shirt is hot. Jim takes this to mean the shirt will burn him, so he quickly takes it off. Obviously, Bob and Jim were thinking two different things. While Bob was saying that he liked Jim's shirt, Jim freaked out and took his shirt off. They were not communicating effectively because they didn't understand each other's language.
