Summary
Language is the most important thing for people as a means of communication. The importance of language is essential to every aspect in our everyday lives. We use language to inform the people around us of what we feel, what we desire, and understand the world around us. Language is a valuable instrument of thought dealing with verbal and non-verbal interaction patterns. When people interact with others in society at anytime and anywhere certainly, they must use a language. People will find some troubles when they do their activities toward the others. There is no society without a language. Brown (1998) points out language and society are intertwined that it is impossible to separate one from the other: Society cannot exist without language, and language cannot exist without society
