Language Is Symbolic
Our language system is primarily made up of symbols. A
symbol
1
is something that
stands in for or represents something else. Symbols can be communicated verbally
(speaking the word
hello
), in writing (putting the letters
H-E-L-L-O
together), or
nonverbally (waving your hand back and forth). In any case, the symbols we use
stand in for something else, like a physical object or an idea; they do not actually
correspond to the thing being referenced in any direct way. Unlike hieroglyphics in
ancient Egypt, which often did have a literal relationship between the written
symbol and the object being referenced, the symbols used in modern languages look
nothing like the object or idea to which they refer.

Live or Die
(Woodstock, NY: Overlook Press, 2005), 17, 24. Remember that for most of
human history the spoken word and nonverbal communication were the primary
means of communication. Even languages with a written component didn’t see
widespread literacy, or the ability to read and write, until a little over one hundred
years ago.
The symbolic nature of our communication is a quality unique to humans. Since the
words we use do not have to correspond directly to a “thing” in our “reality,” we
can communicate in abstractions. This property of language is called
