Judgemental Language: Personal Hierarchy Definition: Sender sees themselves in a superior position Sender sees the receiver in an inferior position Initially this reality exists only in the mind of the sender Example: Andrew complained to his boss on why he has not been awarded for his work because he said it is not fair for Steve who is new to the company to received a promotion. This caused Andrew, who has been in the company longer to become jealous and now work harder. Application: Andrew the sender sees himself in a superior position because he has been in the company longer. Andrew the sender sees Steve the receiver in an inferior position because he is new to the company. Initially this reality exists only in the mind of Andrew the sender because he works harder.

Although, Mat got angry because he found out that Kevin was spreading fake rumors about his girlfriend, that she was dating this guy before him and he was the cause they broke up, so when Mat confronted him, he denied it which caused Mat to get even more angry that he started name calling Kevin. Furthermore, Mat even accused Kevin that if he continued he was going to tell the police that he was dating an underage girl. Application: Getting angry was the way Mat the sender would retain power When Kevin the receiver denied it Mat the sender further called him names and accused of telling the police he was dating an underage girl if he continued spreading fake rumors, which is how he was keeping the hierarchy at all cost. Arbitrary Standards Definition: Sender creates a standard Receiver buys into the standard Expectations are created with the receiver Sender changes the

Foster first chooses to send the email to fellow American, Richard Howe, the Senior Vice President of HPT. Foster reports directly to Richard Howe. Given the professional relationship between the two men, Howe trusts that Foster’s concerns are valid and he decides they are important enough to pass along the to, Maurice Leblanc, the head of the Strategic Business Unit for HTC. Howe’s decisions are typical of a western style management, he addresses that concerns Foster presents to him, understands the issues are important, realizes it is not his area of expertise, and forwards the email to the appropriate individual that can handle the issues.
Margaret has, for the duration of the relationship, been Andrew’s boss. She has never relinquished that role and this is evident in every moment of their communication, i.e., the relationship messages of boss and employee, do not match with the content messages of a happy loving couple. In order to make their relationship
The article titled “Language Use in Family and in Society” written by Lee Thomas and Linh Cao, is about how language can affect a single family in a terrible way. Thomas teaches linguistics at the University of Nevada, Reno, and Cao is an English teacher at Sparks High School located in Sparks, Nevada. Cao has much background information on the topic because she herself is part of the family discussed in this essay. Their concern with a language barrier is that it leads to confusion and frustration within the family. They give examples of families becoming more distant due to miscommunication and their sense of loss. Imagine trying to speak with your mother and only understanding half of
The English language is particularly complex in almost all aspects. Many of the words in the English language have different meanings for the same word. This is not unlike the definition of the different levels of usage. McCrimmon defines the three levels, formal, moderate, and colloquial, by their sentence structure, diction, and tone (McCrimmon 193). ¹ Using McCrimmon’s definitions, authors can determine what type of writing is applicable to each of the three levels. For the formal writings, an adequate example of where readers can find it is in a professional journal, and an appropriate place to find an example of the moderate level is in a weekly news magazine. Also, the best place to look for an example of the colloquial level is in certain sections of the newspaper. All of the levels of usage apply to these different types of writings and assist in defining what each level involves.
Most professions or trades use language specific to that line of work. In the workplace of psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists, there is a specific language used in assessing, diagnosing, and treating clients and patients. I have come to be familiar with this as my mother is a therapist and we have talked about her work and diagnosing people with a variety of mental health disorders. The problem with such language and expressing that language in a book like the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) is that it can be used against people in a way that is not healing but harmful and something that very often too few people consider. This
As I sat in my never-all-that-comfortable seat at the theater to watch "Titanic" for the second time on the big screen, a thought quite alien came over me: good usage in language. This film, based on the 1912 disaster, went to the extremes on details to make everything about it convey the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The language of the film was scripted as best to the year 1912 as was the model made of the ship itself. The film showed the language of both the upper crust ("nobility" of America) and the lower class of different nations of the world.
Paul has apparently misread Larry’s intentions, resulting in misaligned expectations. Paul and Larry have very different leadership styles and attitudes on people management. This disparity in their styles is a core part of their communications issues. Paul’s self-referent criteria have prevented him from effectively listening to what Larry has been telling him about his leadership skills and potential to be promoted to CEO. It seems that George has an advantage over Paul in being able to relate easily to Larry. Larry and George have a similar philosophy on people management, which gives George an advantage on effective communications with Larry. Larry immediately empathizes with George’s perspective, because it is similar to his own. This puts the onus on Paul to get outside of his own frame of reference to examine himself from Larry’s perspective.
Language is essential; language is what we use to communicate among others. It is something that joins us just as strongly as it separates us. There are many different “languages” in the world but really they are all bound by certain rules, they all have a format that they follow, all of them have, nouns, verbs, tenses, and adjectives. Language is almost like a math, the point of it is that when you speak, you try to reach a conclusion with a different person, and in math you use equations to solve problems and reach conclusions, one is numbers the other is words.
Guild (2001) says “We… are products of external influences, especially within our immediate family, extended community, and culture.” This is important, as an educator, to keep in mind when teaching ELL students. This is important to keep in mind when teaching children from other cultures, also. The information I gained from reading and watching the learning resources in weeks two and three were very valuable in observing the student I chose to observe.
Linguists and other scholars who study language do not take prescriptive grammar rules seriously. To them, understanding the meaning and function of words is more important than correction. They belief that language is not an empirical fact and that it is not universal, there are hundreds of dialects in a language which means that there are hundreds of grammars as well. There is also no scientific validation that can be done on prescriptive grammar. The majority of what native speakers know about their language wasn’t taught to them explicitly but in an implicit way through the communicative teaching approach which is a more natural way of speaking and has more to do with whether the message the speaker tries to convey is understood. One example of this is a very common one; a person says “Can I use the bathroom?” which is grammatically wrong because of course he/she can, but the question should be “May I use the bathroom?” which is asking for permission. If both of the questions are meant to be understood in the same way by the person who is asking it and the person who is listening, why should it be wrong?
English as the foreign language in Kurdistan is taught from the first year of School up to the university level. The Audio-Lingual system, which was proposed by American etymologists in 1950s, was created from the guideline that a dialect is most importantly an arrangement of correspondence; sounds for social composing is an optional subsidiary framework for the recording of communicates dialect (Carroll, 1963). Consequently, the reason for the Audio-Lingual strategy is to utilize the target dialect openly. As for each this strategy, discourse is given need in outside dialect educating. The Audio Lingual method shows dialect through dialogues that emphasis on bias of understudies. Larsen-Freeman (2000) expresses that understudies will attain to informative skill by shaping new propensities in the target dialect and defeating the old propensities for their local dialect). The Audio-Lingual system considered dialect basically as appearance of conduct to be learned through the arrangement of right discourse propensities (Thornbury, 2000). As such, the objective of this technique is to frame local dialect propensities in learners (Dendrinos, 1992).

Language is the way humans communicate with eachother. Most of us use it verbally, many use it in writing and other use sign language in order to communicate. Language is part of almost everything amongst us, we read it or hear it on a daily basis. If we are driving we read signs on the road, when we buy stuff we read labels and we could not read without knowing the language, and when we speak we also use language. But language does not stand alone, linguistics is a huge part of it. In my opinion, linguistics is by far one of the most intriguing subjects and classes I have ever taken before. I believe it is a subject everyone seems to be familiar with, yet not really aware of how and why we know the gist of it. Linguistics is the scientific study of human language and its structure, we study language because it teaches us how to communicate with others. Language is everywhere and part of our everyday lives, we use language to communicate with everyone around us. For many communication is vital as part of our jobs and for others it is a form of expression. Language is something that can make us feel wonderful and happy, if someone compliments you, it makes you feel good, but it is also something that can be used to hurt and make people cry, it is a powerful tool humans have. Language whether it be verbal or not has meaning and we must know the basics in order to communicate effectively. In linguistics we learn about the different perspective of language and the different
As the title itself suggests, learning and teaching a foreign language means dealing with a language that is non-native and, most probably, doing so in a non-native environment, such as the classroom. Although a foreign language learnt and taught is also oftentimes referred to as a second language, the process of dealing with this language is known as second language acquisition (SLA). Linguistic purists, however, draw a line between second language and foreign language, the first one signaling that the learner lives in the environment where the language in question is spoken as the native one (Moeller & Catalano, 2015, p. 327). The study of second language and peculiarities of its acquisition has become one of the most rapidly developing disciplines within humanities over the last forty years (Moskovsky et al., 2012). In this regard, there is one more distinction between the terms Second Language and Foreign Language. Second Language (L2) refers to the language learnt by either professionals or immigrants in a country where the language is spoken, and Foreign Language (FL) would mark the language taught in school – outside the native speaker environment (Kramsch, 2000, p. 315). Moreover, the very term acquisition marks a relative effortless process in which the language comes to an individual naturally, whereas learning implies that there is some work to be done to start speaking this language (Moeller & Catalano, 2015). The effortlessness of language acquisition is often
