Abstract

Few of us live as hermits cut off from all human contact. We live together with other people, and the thing which enables us to share our life with them, speaking or writing our thoughts to them and reading or listening to their thoughts, is the ability to use and understand the same language. It follows that the particular group of people with whom we share our life depends on the particular language we have been brought up to use most readily. Furthermore, we are unable to associate at all adequately with any people with whom we have not a common language. This means that at present there are at least the same number of different groups of people as there are different languages; moreover, those groups cannot have real contact except in so far as that the different languages are bridged.
