Language: From the ability to communicate to practice

Aldo Borsese

This contribution, after briefly underlining the semantic richness of words and the necessity, in order to understand their meaning, to characterize them using an adequate implicit definition, offers up a reflection on the word «language». The latter, which has been increasingly used over the years, both in the singular and in the plural, in different contexts and in diversified fields, is cloaked in some ambiguity.

Keywords
