He states that we should realize that the word pencil is only a symbol of that particular writing tool. Through my experience of involvement with other humans I have taken notice to how people take their own language for granted and do not think beyond the word given for an object, thought, emotion, etc. This is my own opinion of a major pitfall in the human language. As I spoke about interpersonal communication in the promises of language, I will now speak about the limitations of language in interpersonal communication. Expression does not always have to be positive.
Many people choose to express themselves in harm to others.
This language that has developed through the years has come with the positive as well as the negative. Another limitation of language as communication is the forgetfulness of listening. I feel that people do not think of what they say most of the time, they only say. In a dyadic conversation, when one person is speaking the language the other person should be listening to the language. I think the limitation is that while communication we all want to talk and express our own thoughts.
