The essence of language in philology, logic and psychology

Interest in language, how it originated, how it works and develops, has existed from time immemorial. For a long time, the word “language” was a general notion used to mean the entire communicative means of man. For many, this was the broadest way of regarding language. Whatever earlier approaches to the nature of languages there have been, we realize now that language is a product of human society and can exist only in human society.
      The origin of language is hidden in the depths of antiquity. But even the ancient civilized peoples, driven by the thirst for knowledge, tried to answer the question: how did language originate? Man’s search for the origin of language is deeply rooted. These inquiring spirits were driven by a desire to discover the entire history of language. As we have pointed out, the first impulse in Ancient Greece to understand the origin of language was based not on scientific research but on general philosophical premises.
