The history of language probably began when our first ancestors needed to communicate with each other. Since the beginning of this era, language has evolved into this ever-expanding system seemingly governed by the same property of communication used by our ancestors. But is language really governed by rules? Is the current evolutionary state of the language really comparable to that of our ancient brothers? Is the level of complexity of the language of our ancestors, regardless of the difference in language level if there is any, the same as ours in today's society? Language is in fact governed by rules, and it is this increasingly strict and constantly expanding system that differentiates our level of language and its complexity from that of our ancestors. Language is governed by rules, but the rules are not ratified by an authority, but rather by this invisible set of rules respected by man, shaped by the pragmatism of different forms of language. Two important elements of language that contribute to the successful projection of meaning are vocabulary, the meaning of a word, and grammar, the correct use of the word. Vocabulary is governed by human rules, shaped by its usefulness in society. Everyone knows an apple is. An apple is usually red, sometimes green; is a fruit; grows on trees; etc. But this is simply the meaning that human society has given to the word “apple”. What is an apple really? It's this solid collection of atoms. But taking something as literally as this statement wouldn't be very helpful to human language. In this sense, people are all atoms, because we are all solid collections of atoms. We can then say that vocabulary has been shaped by its pragmatic uses in human society. Grammar is also human... middle of paper ...... it has become deeper compared to previous eras, sacrificing flexibility for precision. Language is rule-governed and more developed in terms of vocabulary, grammar and complexity than that of our ancestors. Along with greater linguistic prowess, our ability to know and perceive something has also increased. Take for example the example of the color red. If I had lived in an earlier era where the word "red" was simply limited to "red," I could have easily said that my school's uniform is the same color as the McDonald's waitress' uniform. But, seeing how I live in the modern age, I could easily distinguish my school uniform as being brown and the McDonald's waitress uniform as being more of a scarlet tone. With this, there is no real way to "know" something, especially in such a complex way, unless the language one understands accommodates the idea of ​​that something...
