The host conducts a comprehensive survey of what language really is, considering how it forms a basis for all human interaction. He shows the relation of linguistic science to teaching a foreign language, teaching reading and the analysis of the psychiatric interview. Dr. Smith points out that there is no such thing as a primitive language, and all languages are equally complex and have the same amount of history behind them.
