Why do we need language

Of course, we need language to communicate. Some may argue that you can communicate in other ways: gestures, symbols, sounds ... It's true. But still the most perfect form of communication for humans is a language, as in a person mind with a word is related an object or phenomenon.

The concept of "communication" is much broader than just a conversation with someone or with buddies. We communicate also with writing - through books, essays, custom papers, stories and so on. After all, the information obtained by previous generations, becomes part of the next generation.

Types of speech

Basically there are two types of speech: internal and external.

Inner speech - a speech in your mind . It participates in all cognitive processes. That it is the material shell of thought in those cases when we think. For this question there is no sound expression, but, despite this, inner speech obeys to all the rules of grammar, peculiar to a speech of a particular person.

External speech can be oral and written.

Oral speech exists in the form of a monologue (speech of one person: lecture, report, reading aloud, etc.) and in the form of a dialogue (conversation with one or several people).

Written speech is addressed not to the listeners but to readers. It is the most deployed and syntactically correct.

The relationship between internal and external speech

Everyone knows that when he says out loud, his thoughts are not necessarily occupied only by what he says at the moment; he may think that he has yet to say, about the impression which makes his speech to the audience, can "shoot" the idea is not even related to his statements.
