Amongst the two readings, Language is something that forms a way of communication between individuals to come to some form and way to have understanding. Language can be produced, translated, mimicked in many forms such as gestures, speech, symbols etc. The distinction amongst languages and what’s considered proper would be more of a universal/common form of understanding, as per example roman numbers on a clock, tally marks, the basic use of numbers, etc. Another very universal language example is the symbol of a lady silhouette and man silhouette outside of restrooms to signal what gender facilities it is for. Symbols are related to language because its forms a visually communication for people to understand. Language plays a big role in design because it translates things within many ways and forms a ways to communicate amongst and across a large audience.
