Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monmouth College Catalog, 1988-1989 The general education program, which accounts for thirteen of the thirty-six units required for graduation, is organized so that the student is enrolled in at least one component each year. The components called Language and Systems of T bought and Belief are required respectively in the freshman and senior years. The other three components may be distributed to suit the student's schedule, provided that other conditions are met. Language. The creation and use of language is the most significant achievement of human beings, for our ability to organize our understanding in verbal symbols and to communicate sets us apart from all other life forms. The symbols of our language make communication possible at many different levels of meaning and allow us to translate Our private experience into universal terms. Our native language admits us to the experience of all who use and have used it. It is the medium that bears the largest part of our cultural heritage from one generation to another. A sure understanding of language is the foundation of all knowledge, and the ability to use verbal symbols effectively is the most important of all skills. At its deepest levels, language communicates in metaphorical terms, conveying feelings and intuitions that cannot be expressed in direct, literal language. Beyond examining the oral and written uses of language as explicit forms of communication, then, the study of language also entails considering the symbolic uses of words to express more than literal meanings, to create particular effects, or to influence the reader or listener in certain ways.
