Abstract
The notion of ‘life’ has been in the centre of multiple studies and explorations since the dawn of the human race. Civilizations developed or deteriorated largely based on their interpretation of this all-important notion. Generations of people grew being led by the phenomenon of ‘life’ that was rooted in people’s language and culture. And even today, we can say that some communities are culturally more advanced than others based on the level of their communicative culture and linguistic development. This chapter explores how the expression of people’s views in various forms of speech and their communicative culture become part and parcel of human existence without which neither development nor existence itself is possible.
