The main purpose of language is to allow people to communicate with other people. It is also true that even if I had no other people with whom to communicate, I would still use language to help me think. But that is a secondary function.

∙ 11y agoOur language enables us to communicate with each other, to express our beliefs and ideas, to share our thoughts and emotions. From the time we are babies, learning our language is our entrance into the social world: it allows us to understand what others are trying to say to us, and it is also how we learn to make ourselves understood. Those who can use language effectively are better able to make friends, as well as express themselves to others (including peers, teachers, potential employers, etc). Not all language is spoken-- many deaf people use sign, for example, and some language is written so that we might read it and think about it; but whether it is oral or signed or printed, the use of language makes it possible for us to relate to others in our world. Thus, language is definitely an important aspect of being social.
