When we think of the development of language, emotion is worth being paid attention to. The relationship between the history of language and emotion has been one of the topics we should take into consideration. After language has been developed by humans who uses it for a long period of time, its forms such as grammar have been focused more in the later societies which was developed to convey difficult meanings in elaborated way.

In communities at the beginning of 21st century, political correctness is the main policy people share as a rule to use language for formal and respected way. This tendency emphasizes the current language that more focuses on its forms, what should be noted here is that people came to feel less important what’s behind the words.

As people are aware consciously or unconsciously, even if people use the same phrase, the phrase could be perceived in different sense depending on the situations that it was uttered. The appearance of language is the same, but the meaning is variably recognized. This explains that what matters is what’s behind the forms of language, and as time passes people put their importance in forms such as grammars.

Originally, language was more abundant in abstractness. The abstractness has to do with the relationship between language and singing. The singing is a topic which we should care about when diving deeper into the study of language. The early phase of language is, presumably, closer to singing. Over time, it transitioned to the later form of language which has established rules shared within people, that is grammar, in order to convey more complex meanings in sophistication. Development of language can be seen in its elaboration of appearance. In terms of incorporating complex meanings into a sentence or passage, grammar was a key aspect to evolve language. As its history advances, it came to have the beauty in its forms too. The beauty of elaboration in language became an art.

As described that what’s behind the forms of words is important, one need to think what is behind it. To respond to this matter, emotion is the one people puts in utterance. Music is an example that emotion is transmitted from one person to another.

Take a look at music and emotion, street piano demonstrates the relationship. It is put in corner of cities and towns such as station, airport, shopping mall where people gather. When someone, particularly experienced one, plays it, the melody attracts people wandering the streets and have them stopped by. Music fascinates people by stimulating their emotions. Especially classics such as Chopin, Beethoven, Liszt, Rafmaninov, Vitali, and Vivaldi, continuously are as vibrant over the past centuries. That is why they are continuously played and listened among people of different centuries. In the performance of pianists or violists, people are fascinated by it and they attract people’s attention. Stimulating audience’s emotion means that It resonates in people’s mind. Music has the characteristic of abstractness embracing emotions.

The abstractness of classic music and its abundance in expression is different from verbal language. Distinction between language and music is quite ambiguous. It isn’t what we can make a line inbetween clearly. Presuming that language was closer to music in its classical style, emotions were put in the form of language closer to music, while accentuating some parts in utterance. The words have the characteristics of excluding and specification. Picture, movie, dream, music without lyrics, art on the one hand of abstractness, and music with lyrics, literature, word on the other hand of specification.

Comparing music with grammatical language, people somewhat got not accustomed to its abstractness their forebears had. It is the effect of its surroundings different from previous ages, rather than degeneration of human species. People puts their importance in specifying in their communication. However, it is the tendency that people came to be careful of details, which led them to be not good at their imagination.

Emotion and language are slightly similar to the relationship between unconsciousness and consciousness. People tend to look at things more closely in minor details recently, but in the same time, they tend more not to be good at thinking more broader view. The latter capability means that even if they don’t look at the minor details, it can be basically supplemented by their capacity in abstraction.

Work is a type of activity that can represent wider meaning. Through work, for example music, one would be able to think over what kind of history it has. People would not get the clear picture of it, but even in abstract sense, one can get the sense of histories including the composer’s personality, its thoughts, contexts, and passions incorporated in it. Those abstract notions are integrated in works. In other words, chaos is skillfully filled in it and one can pull it out of it depending on their intelligence. How we keep chaos in society is represented in this type of activity.

Emotions was the shared commons which has to be developed to some degrees at least enough to communicate in language. What has been happening is that since people’s emotion is underdeveloped, people interpret the meanings by its appearance, not looking through via the genuine lenses. The genuine lenses are only shared with the people whose emotions are truly developed. If not, they are not able to reach out to the core of its words. This was a consensus in society that is based on their inner feelings grown over their life.

To get the developed emotions is related to the activities people experienced. The Internet-oriented society, some activities are decreased due to technological advancement, including opportunities to talk with people in person. However, this emotion referred to is something a little bit different from sociability. In a sense, being social in relationship with others doesn’t necessarily determine whether the person has its emotion developed or not. Activities vary from the Before-the-Internet era, in After-the-Internet even though the Internet intensified convenience, needless to say, the real face-to-face activities are at least somewhat replaced by the online. The Internet decreased opportunity to grow the aspect of emotion in people, instead of convenience. For instance, watching film by using online platforms, people easily stops and restarts at any point of it. It can be watched almost anywhere — barriers are removed, but keeping passion on it became more difficult. It is surroundings that people can develop their emotion.

To explain the importance of the core of language, the following case which language learners may have experienced is worth looking at. A user heard a word which is not familiar with from another. Since the user doesn’t know its meaning, the person come to proceed the conversation without understanding its meaning precisely. However, as he knows the context, with conversation went further, he managed to learn the meaning at the end. Among these two persons, the meaning or I would say the rule of its word is transferred from one to another and it has been established. This is a case that through dialogue people learn and establish the rule of language and come to understand it. Via communication between them, they ends up with sharing the usage and what kind of rule it will be between them. Moreover, even if we have the same form of a word, its meaning could differ as time passes by the rule changes.

By saying the importance of meaning behind its forms, the essential role of language is not to enable the users to remember the words, but to think over what’s behind them. Political correctness is what arose from the emphasis on form. So called deterioration of emotions in humans of 21st century cannot keep society having enough practicality of political correctness. Even if we try to be formal, without having enough capacity of emotion among the public, it is not possible to share the rule of political correctness. It is not a factor develops emotion, on the contrary, it backlashes from inner feelings.
