==== Language ==== Language is viewed as the source of all meaning.<ref name=":5" /> Blumer illuminates several key features about social interactionism. Most people interpret things based on assignment and purpose. The interaction occurs once the meaning of something has become identified. This concept of meaning is what starts to construct the framework of social reality. By aligning social reality, Blumer suggests that language is the meaning of interaction. Communication, especially in the form of symbolic interactionism is connected with language. Language initiates all forms of communication, verbal and non-verbal. Blumer defines this source of meaning as a connection that arises out of the social interaction that people have with each other.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Lundgren |first=David C. |date=May 2004 |title=Social Feedback and Self-Appraisals: Current Status of the Mead-Cooley Hypothesis |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1525/si.2004.27.2.267 |journal=Symbolic Interaction |volume=27 |issue=2 |pages=267β286 |doi=10.1525/si.2004.27.2.267 |issn=0195-6086|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
