The Power of Language

Unification of the country is one of the most important factors in determining its prosperity. In this case, the language became one of the most influential factors of the ability to communicate with others. In the United States, most people speak English, not other languages. However, there is no law to control English as a national language in this country. As a result, people are concerned that other languages ​​transcend English and have led to expansion of the language barrier of the country.

Everyone speaks in different languages. Even the most proficient speakers can not monopolize the power of the language. After all, "power of language" is not in the speaker but in the language itself. The power of language belongs to the language itself. Therefore, this power belongs to everyone who owns that language. People who have acquired language skills have power. Language is not only a tool that hands over to power, it is also a reaction force that can not be restricted and suppressed. Power, such as having weapons and money, depends on many factors. These are missing; some are those who have them and others are not. This shortage establishes human power for people. It shows an ubiquitous social relationship between power and inequality

But the problem of power is actually more complicated. Especially in the case of "power of language", the problem is multilayered. "The power of words" is not only the word that demonstrates power, but also the destruction of power. Most importantly, as a language, it has a very special power. The relationship between language and power is contradictory. We call "power of language" the "language of power". The general meaning here is that all power must ultimately use the language in which it is conveyed and expressed. In other words, others just listen and obey. In a narrow sense, understanding of this "power of language" is a tool of language for exercising power. Instruction of the language itself becomes a means of power. Like political rhetorical and confusing people, like "ideology and corruption," through "linguistic temptation" to be "convincing".

Obviously, "the power of words" is not a companion of command and obedience, the words used are not the original purpose. The true inner power of the language is to destroy this alternative power. As irregular and violent rules and legal rules ultimately have to rely on the power of the language used, instruction and self-assertion, the language is exactly the vulnerability of the order. You can see the hidden intent of the command. You can obey in turn, but you can reject it; the most important thing you can understand, interpret, or reinterpret it the same as those who need to comply.
