Man, language and communication through time

Abstract

The man´s development is directly linked to the development of language; his relationship implies a transaction of knowledge, ideas and concepts that modify the society in which he is a part. This paper gives a vision of the evolution of language through time, the importance of communication in the modern world and the acquisition of a second language (English) as a tool to face the advances and implications of globalization.

Likewise, there are concepts about the relevance of language in terms of economic, cultural, social, symbolic and linguistic capital and how these issues determine the progress of a community in the educational field.
