The language has a powerful influence over people and their behaviour. The choice of the language means to convey specific messages with the intention of influencing people is vitally important. The visual content of the information, of course, has a very great impact on the audience, but it is the language that helps people to identify the information and remember it. The target audience, of course, also puts its own meaning into certain words. The language is a fundamental tool used for a creative expression, a face-to-face communication, a scientific inquiry, and many other purposes. We are born with the ability to acquire the language automatically and effortlessly. The average English speakers know around fifty thousand words. That represents an astonishing diversity because it is nearly twenty-five times more than the amount of the stars visible to the naked eye in the starlit sky. And even these fifty thousand words seem to be insignificant beside the half a million words and phrases recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary. But when we look at it from the historical perspective that diversity becomes more apparent than real. Tracing the development of different languages back in time shows that in many cases what are now separate lexical terms used to be similar or the same words in the ancient times. The deep prehistory of the English language has nurtured little word-seeds that have proliferated into some widely differentiated families of vocabulary over the millennia.
