1. INTRODUCTION To begin with, it sounds ironic to choose a title for this paper as the present one since, ostensibly, there is nothing problematic about the language if viewed without apriori judgments or presuppositions. What is language, after all, if not the medium of communication and articulating concepts and views in the mind of the writer or speaker? On the face of it, this rings axiomatic and tautological and no further explication or elaboration. The scriptures, for example, emphasizes the priority assigned to language as seen in the verses referring to the beginning of the world as lying in the 'word' and all the vast and profound theological implications associated with it.
