This paper presents the idea that language is global in nature, and consists of three interrelated aspects; functions, determinants, and components, each of which can be examined by reference to certain characteristics. This global concept of language has significance for first and second language learning, deviant language, and demonstrates the need for a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of language.
