what is the relation between language and self?

"Language, whether verbal or non-verbal, is the vehicle by which the self is revealed to others, ". (my quote)

Language helps define the relationship between self and world.

When you asked this question I remembered Aristotle. He thought that humans use language to make moral judgments and develop ideas when animals do not have a language or use for only getting food, alarming or sex (simply basic needs). Then I arrived Descartes. He said that " I think, therefore; I am." meant that "I am essentially a thinking thing, a mind." then, "Human is a thinking thing, essentially a mind." Here essentially mind means "self" ,because; in real we are mind, ourselves are mind. When I combine this two, I arrived the thought that being an individual, "self" needs being a thinking thing and these things use language as Aristotle mentioned. ı must add that Descartes thought that animals do not have mind.

You are defined by your first language. language>culture=self.

It is the matter of communication of that which is outside the self.... What is within, understands what is within, but what it outside of that self, must communicate in a manner that understands more than itself but a greater audience.....
