The language is a means of forming and storing ideas as reflections of the reality and exchanging them in the process of human intercourse. It is social by nature and is inseparably connected with the people who are its creators and users, and develops together with the development of the society. It incorporates three constituent parts each being inherent in it by virtue of its social nature. These parts are the phonological system, the lexical system and the grammatical system. Only the unity of these three elements forms a language; without any one of them there is no human language in the above sense. For many people, the words are the centre of the language, considering the fact that the most obvious and recognizable parts of any language are its words or its lexicon. There are thousands of words in any given language, although most speakers know and use only a relatively small number of them. People create new words that express new concepts or ideas over time. These can be completely new words, or new meanings for the existing words. It does not take long before the new words enter a language, once the language arrives in a fresh location. The borrowings from indigenous languages are especially noticeable. In the last decade hundreds of new words entered the English language to describe different concepts and ideas. The language of the medicine is a specialized vocabulary used by the health-care practitioners.
