Language has several functions: on one hand, the factual aspect, self-revelation, the appeal to the other, and the relational statement. On the other hand, there is the discussion about language (metacommunication) as well as language as an aesthetic means of expression, as found in literature or poetry. In his crime novel "The Seventh Function of Language," Laurent Binet invents the effect of language as a mystery, allusion, myth, ambiguity, or the hidden. This book will address another - perhaps the most important - function: the formative function of language. This means that language is the means and tool with which we - depending on culture - construct and rewrite our perceptions of reality about the world and ourselves. However, if language is not just the medium with which we create reality.
