This edition is an Exploration into Language. In the development of the human being, language serves as an expression of personality, to bring across one's thoughts and feelings to others. Even more is the power of language to allow us to know the thoughts and feelings of others – and in written language to allow this knowledge to cross otherwise insurmountable barriers of time and space. Montessori language programmes for children from birth to eighteen emphasise these two essential characteristics: language as the expression of the individual personality and language as an expression of shared humanity.
