can anyone explain the influences of language on meaning and perception?

Question

How can you improve language and how might improving your language use benefit your interpersonal communication?

Answer 1

How can perceive any perception if you can not understand the language?Dialects are different as well as meanings for words that are spelled the same.But,may have different pronunciations
and a totally different meanings.

Answer 2

Language and the way it is used definitely influence meaning and perception. It is like using better words to say the same thing. Nuances of meaning can be implied.

Write down a simple sentence like:- The government has made a mess of our lives.

Then think of a way to express it differently like: - The administration of this country has taxed us to higher limits for it's own benefit.

Use a thesaurus and find better words to use instead of :-
got, so, hope, want, need, think, choice, etc.
