(2012) COMMUNICATION AND LANGUAGE FOR GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENThttps://keffi.nsuk.edu.ng/handle/20.500.14448/3698n every human society, man has evolved a system by which interaction is ensured. This system of interaction enables man to share his thought and ideas as well as exert control over the wide range of phenomenon and human actions which results into development. This system is known as communication which is attained through the medium of language. Language is so vital in human existence that there is hardly any situation or human function where language is not required. It thus follows that for any idea to be transformed into any global development; it must be sufficiently couched in human communication.' This means that the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for sustaining development for the benefits of man must be communicated to him through the medium of language. This paper therefore, aims at discussing communication and language as a vehicle for global sustainable development. To achieve this, effort is made to define the key terms use in the paper and to examine the role(s) communication and language can play in sustaining development.enCommunication, language and developmentArticle
