?{{B}}Some Things We Know about Language{{/B}}
? ?Many things
about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so. But some things we
do know.
? ?First, we know that all human beings have a language of
some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no
language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one
another. Furthermore, in historical times, there has never been a race of men
without a language.
? ?Second, there is no such thing as a
primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped, who
are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In
all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of
thousands of years in developing.
? ?This has not always been well
understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated. Popular ideas of
the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have supposed
that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises. Study has
proved this to be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian
languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They
are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with,
but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.
? ?A third
thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate, That
is, each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who
speak the language.
? ?Finally, we know that language changes. It
is natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not
change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in
time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as
do speech sounds, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may
occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any
language. |
