Language (1957)
About this film
Establishing that the problems of language are not new, Dr. Adler explains that language is related to all other ideas. He says that the ancients believe that difficulty in language is the fault of man while the moderns believe that imperfect language is at fault. Dr. Adler maintains that there can never be a perfect language but that language can be improved through improvement in the expression of ideas.
