LANGUAGE

Language can be recognized as having two possible interpretations: language and a language.

When we think of language, we think of it in a general way and we define it as the verbal form of human expression. It is confined to a human context and not extended to any other species. Therefore, we can conclude that language refers to a natural ability which all normal human beings have.

However, when we speak of a language, we think of it in a specific way and we define it to mean any distinct system of verbal expression, distinguished from other such systems by its peculiarities of structure and vocabulary. Thus concluding that a language is a specific version used by some people who normally live in the same community.
