Ans : Any code involving signs, symbols or gestures used for communication ideas meaningfully is called language. Language is a device to communicate meanings, feelings and intentions. According to Edward Sapir, language is a purely human and non-instinctive method of communicating ideas, emotions and desires. French linguist Ferdinand de Saussure defines Language as, "A language can be compared to a sheet of paper. Through is one side of the sheet and sound the reversal side. It is impossible to isolate sound from thought, or thought from the sound ". Language consists of receptive skills and expressive skills and includes both written and oral forms.
