ABSTRACT
The language of facial expression plays an enormous role in this respect, serving as an important unifying factor in the whole of the animal kingdom. People who speak the same language are members of the least costly and most popular telephone network in the world. In the cultural life of all nations, language functions as a tool that is used to satisfy various needs arising during the evolution of the composite personality, including the success of its literature, that reflects the totality of its intellectual acquisitions. The wizard—the primeval scientist who, at the dawn of civilization, was trying to disclose nature's secrets and to subject its mysterious forces to his own will—uses primarily language in his craft. In all these cases, the role of language is indubitable, for only language makes the existence of public opinion possible and functions as its means of expression. Tarde's interpretation of the origins of language is also rather peculiar.
