These two particular passages tell me what God expects of me. Without language I do not know how I could learn about God in great detail. Language has been used to make political promises in the past for present and future generations of mankind. As for political statements made in the past, and sure to be made in the future, they are of great importance to society. Language is probably the most significant human achievement ever accomplished.
Language allows human beings to express their emotions.
It, too, gives people the capability to explain their experiences. Language is promising, in that it too is not residual, but continuously formative. We have the ability to constantly change and modify our use of words. One of the most intriguing things I have discovered from a lecture in this communication course is that we are not nouns but verbs- human beings . In a sense, we are physically evolving and emotionally modifying the ways we live on a constant basis.
