All languages can in fact be divided into two groups, first – the languages that are used in everyday communication, for example, Latvian and English languages. The second group is the languages that have been artificially created for use in a particular area of knowledge, for instance, Mathematics and Chemistry. As knowledge of all the possible languages is not naturally given to any people, languages must be acquired and lack of language skills can serve as a serious barrier in communication between two persons speaking different languages, but is the barrier so major that it may be assumed that people speaking different languages live in different worlds?

This is actually the reason why language might be considered to be all the time in development process. As new things appear and new objects are being discovered, need for symbols for identifying them are needed. For example, few centuries ago such object “computer’ did not exists. So did the term “computer”. As the scientists proceeded and invented the machine - “computer”, a term to symbolize it had to be made up. Not only new words appear in a language, but also some of the old ones disappear. …
