Abstract	Since the beginning of their existence humans have used systems of symbols in order to communicate with one another. This system is often referred to as “language” and can be manifested in many ways, as it includes both verbal and sign language. Most linguists agree that the ultimate goal of language is communication. This intentionality is what distinguishes it from other, more aimless sounds one can produce, like coughing or yawning. However, glossolalia is a phenomenon which calls this idea into question, since it is a way of speaking in language-like sounds, often for the purpose of religious rituals. Many linguists have debated if this could be considered genuine language, since it contains no syntactic or semantic properties, although having pragmatic use. This paper aims to examine the use, history, and characterization of glossolalia in linguistic circles, its role in religion and its differences from other linguistic phenomena.
