LA TOUTE-PUISSANCE DU LANGAGE DANS LA COMMUNICATION
THE POWER OF LANGUAGE IN COMMUNICATION

Summary/Abstract: Our approach is based on the use of language to communicate and highlights the importance of thought when transmitting information. Most of human activities are modeled by language and we cannot conceive our existence without this instrument. Natural languages depend on the conventions that exist within a community, as far as the principles underlying the language are concerned. On the contrary, the faculty of speaking does not rely on such foundations. Any man, whatever his culture or origin, will acquire a language if he is in sufficient contact with it. Thus, this person must learn and master complex standards in a very short period of time, in order to communicate within society. Language philosophers have studied how linguistic symbols can be organized in order to produce meaningful sentences.
