Abstract

We use language to communicate or express our thoughts, feelings, or ideas we share with our friends, family members, relatives, colleagues, employers or unknown persons sometimes. In other words, language is a means of communication or expression. Communication happens both verbally and non-verbally. Non – verbal communication involves sign language, body language space language, time language, paralanguage, touch language, etc .It seems to be a spontaneous process.
