Language is a means of communication. It is a method of communicating ideas, emotions, desires etc., by means of a system of voluntarily produced symbols - auditory and visual. The former constitute spoken language, to which the modern technological society pays more attention. On the other hand, the latter i.e. visuals symbols constitute written language, sign language, body language and so on. Language greatly enhances the ability of human beings to express their emotions, feelings and interaction with one another. Despite the fact that for centuries there has been a comprehensive approach towards the understanding of human language, a concrete consensus has not been arrived at regarding what this language is. Linguists, philosophers, psychologists and other researchers have all contributed to our understanding of what language is, and how it is acquired and used. These studies show that language is a complex, natural bestowed entity on each and every human being which is very difficult to be decoded in terms of scientific explanation. The complexity of the structure and its use involve many diverse, interacting psychological operations of which is human speech is one. Man being a social animal, requires something that will link him to the milieu in which he lives. It is language, and particularly speech, which performs this task as O'Connor (1973:9) rightly puts it: The spoken word is, and is likely to remain , by far the most frequent medium of communication between man and his neighbor and it is, to this ex tent at least the most important such medium.
