Language is what we write, what we speak and what we trying to communicate in our daily life. Our talks, our speeches, our disclosures and the writings, essays and novels that written by human beings are forms of language, which can be considered to be an indication of our normal life. “Language reflects and shapes our thinking, but our thinking can also go to another room and play with things that precede or go beyond words.” This statement is stated by Patricia Dunn in the article “Challenging theories of knowing”. Languages help us describing things happening around us, which also allow us to use different forms of language to understand the world we living.
Ann E. Berthoff, who has a significant influence in academic-writing field, said “those learning to write and to teach writing will discover that language is itself the great heuristic”. In this case, Berthoff has definitely considered language as the most important intellectual tool. Therefore in my opinion, Language is something can not only help us perceive the world, but also itself acts as a deep headspring that has abundant knowledge attracting us to discover and perceive.
