Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature of language, not as a means of expressing ideas, but as a complex system of symbols rooted in human physiology and social interaction. The author argues that language is a structured system of sounds and symbols that humans learn and use to communicate with each other, and that it is not merely a tool for expressing thoughts but a fundamental aspect of human existence. The book examines the origins of language, the principles of its operation, and its role in shaping human thought and behavior. Through an analysis of the mechanisms of speech production and the structure of language, the author uncovers the principles that govern how we produce and understand language, and how it shapes our perception of the world around us.
