The challenges faced by international institutions when employees communicate in different languages

Abstract

Language is a system involved in the development, acquisition, maintenance, and use of complex systems of communication, particularly the human ability to do so, with any specific example of such a system also called a language. The scientific study of language is called linguistics. Questions about the philosophy of language, such as whether words can represent experience, have been debated since Gorgias and Plato in ancient Greece, with thinkers like Rousseau arguing language originated from emotion and others like Kant holding it originated from rational thought.
