Language Across the Curriculum Kamlesh Kumari Sharma

Language has become the major tool of communication between countries, cultural groups, various companies and organizations, communities and friends. Wittgenstein says "The limit of my language is the limit of my world". He implies that those who speak one language live only in one world. A baby is born without language, but even without any formal training, at the age of 4 or 5, the child knows several hundred words and grammar of a particular language. For a last few years, millions of people across the world, who share common interest, are able to communicate with each other and exchange ideas. Not only are they able to do this due to advanced technology, but also because they share a common language.
