Language is a basic form of communication that allows humans to express thoughts, emotions, and establish social rules and structures. Discourses constitute more than just ways of thinking and producing meaning - they also influence knowledge, social practices, power dynamics, and subjectivity. Different discourses, like those used in gendered toys and clothing, reinforce patriarchal social constructs by associating things like dolls with femininity and tools with masculinity. While most cultures use verbal and physical language as well as gestures to communicate, some regions like parts of Southeastern Europe rely more on body language than words.
