The following abstract is taken from the introductory paragraph of the thesis. "'Language', says Dr. Jesperson, 'is a way of connection between souls.' It is a series of signs for communicating thoughts. We learn the English language because we want to exchange thoughts with the English-speaking people and because we want to get a means of communication with the English-speaking people in order that we may get into their civilization which we do not have and which it is impossible for our native tongue to reach. In other words, we learn the English language so as to be enabled to get sensible communications about thoughts of the English-speaking people, and so as to have our too a means of making the English-speaking people partakers of our own thoughts."
