This book argues that a tribe of the primitive society is formed
because of kinship, while a state of the civilized society is
formed because of language. When humans communicate using language,
they extend the distance and the reaches of communication. They
expand their communities. States replace tribes. Language underlies
the formation of the state. Then, accordingly, language also
underlies the organization of the state as men create language
solutions in the organization of the state such as constitution,
election and representation. The extension of linguistic
communication distance also underlies the formation of three
juxtaposing branches of government administrative, legislative and
judicial body. It also enables men to create various forms of
civilization such as history, philosophy, literature, art, religion
and law which play a role in the construction of men's spirit that
guides the operation of the state. Language presets the whole
process of the progress of civilization.
This book argues that a primitive society is formed on the basis of
kinship ties while a civilized society is formed on the basis of
linguistic communication. When humans communicate with each other
through language, they extend the distance of communication. The
extension of communication distance helps expand communities.
States are gradually formed. This means that as these communities
grow, they become too large to be supported only by the ties of
kinship. The use of language and the development of linguistic
communication underlies the establishment of governments, the
introduction of laws, the holding of elections, and the flourishing
of history, philosophy, literature, art, religion, etc. This book
presents a new theory about the importance of language in the
growth of the states.
