"Language is a purely human and non-instinctive method of communicating ideas, emotions and desires by means of voluntarily produced symbols.“ (Edward Sapir, Language: An Introduction to the Study of Speech. Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1921)

The term "society" which came from the Latin word societas generally designates persons belonging to a specific in-group
.
“Society is a system of usages and procedures, of authority and mutual aid, of many groupings and divisions, of controls of human behaviour and of liberties. This ever-changing complex system we call society. It is the web of social relationships” (MacIver).
