A more comprehensive study of the subject will entail us to include other facets of language such as speech tones are more importantly body language. Body language in a way had been always a part of EQ parameter but language in general with it vocabularies and tones can give us a rather in depth idea of the emotional quotient of a person. More so a deeper study of the language used would reveal important behavioural traits. Language of a timid fearful person must have such inclination. All of us would have come across people who use the words like ‘God Forbid’ ‘Touch wood’ etc very frequently in their speech. Excessive use of abusive language is another common phenomenon that is seen among people which is indicative of behavioural patterns.

Words are an invention to which thoughts are the necessity. I strongly believe that as our thoughts, our imagination and our emotions grow or are consciously conceived by our mind, we need more and more words to describe them, give meaning to them. As a child we need to just cry to get our self expressed, then on from the limited vocabulary of a child to our adulthood we keep learning new words. Relative difference between people can be attributed to their emotional and intellectual thought processes and the need to express them thereof. Many a time words are reflection of our ego too, people tend to use more complicated vocabulary not as a part of need but as part of flare, use of lesser known synonyms without a justified need. It is not the need of thoughts but perhaps the need of the ego. What could be concluded for sure is that words convey much more than they apparently are meant to convey….they convey our state of mind, ego and perhaps much more
