Language And Human Communication

Language is the the primary way of communicating with one another. This can be written or spoken.

* Communication can be either verbal or written. Communication can also be seen by facial expressions, gesture and body language. In addition to the words, messages are transferred by the tone and quality of voice and eye contact.

Language is a method in which individuals communicate in order to get their opinion across to the listening party. Language is the tool which ideas can be conveyed in various ways. Typically, language is referred to verbal communication, however, it ranges to all methods of communication i.e. sign language.

Language can be defined as a means of communication through spoken sounds, written symbols, or hand and body gestures. Subject to this simple definition language is neither human nor animal exclusive, meaning that all living creatures use some form of language to communicate. Humans have created the most advanced system of language. Human language has advanced to include listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing and visual representation. These components are known as the six language arts and while they are individual components they are as well interdependent. What you learn about one affects what and how you learn about the others.

Language is common in the world it is the way humans communicate and relate to things with one another.Language is a powerful tool in the world because it can give power to people and can be used to manipulate through renaming people,stereotyping a person and using a euphemistic approach in addressing a person.

Language is the ability to communicate. It does not necessarily mean verbal communication, although this is one method. Nonverbal communication such as our language register and body language are other forms of communication.

Language is a vital tool for human beings. Human language is a measure for communicating thoughts, ideas, and identity to one another. Cultural relations, economic dealings, and the shaping of friendships are all dependent upon language. While it could be viewed that today’s languages are the result of past language extinctions, the death of language signifies a loss much greater than just words.

Language is our thoughts expressed, it’s how we attempt to define ourselves and set ourselves apart as individuals or as part of a social gathering of living situation.

　　　　Language is an essential part of our daily lives. Language is used to communicate with other people to meet our needs and satisfy our understandings. Everyone uses one language or another. Some have an advantage and are able to use

Our basic mean of communication among species and interspecies is thru language. Language enables us to communicate with each other, our thoughts and feelings, ideas and concepts, likes, and dislikes, fears, dreams

Language exists from birth as a basic form of communication either physically or verbally. Physically language can be expressed through sign language, facial expressions and body language (such as gestures and posture). Verbally language is used to express our emotions and inner thoughts; to inform and inquire; as well as to argue and discuss a variety of subjects.

The claim, humans are the only animal that can acquire language has been the subject of much debate as scientists have investigated language use by non-human species. Researchers have taught apes, monkeys, parrots and wild children with various systems of human-like communication. Thus, one might ask, what is human language? According to Ulla Hedeager, A universally accepted definition of language or the criteria for its use does not exist. This is one of the reasons for the disagreement among scientists about whether non-human species can use a language. In nature, researchers find numerous types of communication systems, several of which appear to be unique to their possessors, and one of them is the language of the human species. Basically, the purpose of communication is the preservation, growth, and development of the species (Smith and Miller 1968:265). The ability to exchange information is shared by all communication systems, and a number of non-human systems share some features of human language. The fundamental difference between human and non-human communication is that animals are believed to react instinctively, in a stereotyped and predictable way. Generally, human behavior is under the voluntary control,

Language is something that we need and use for everything in our lives. Language is, “a symbolic communication system that is learned instead of biologically inherited.” (O’Neil, 2006). Language is communication that is either written down or spoken in words or sentences. We need to have a good understanding of language to learn, work and for our normal lives. You need to know language to be able to communicate with other people. Language has structure and meaning, for example words and sentences. Language also had tone, pitch, pace and volume. There are several types of language, receptive language, expressive language, emergent language. Receptive language is how you receive and understand language and expressive language is how

Thinking of language as an object, a set of rules and codes to follow, is to remove it from its true meaning of being a means for communication and expression of self. The social influence and cultural meaning that language has is far too complex and meaningful to describe as an object. Although language should not be seen as an object it can be physically present around us. It is present in physical forms such as speech, audio recordings, and writings. When looking at it from this point of view, language is a material object. (Gee & Hayes, 2011, p. 6). It is important for teachers to understand that children today make sense of the world through visual, audio, digital and multimedia texts/teaching tools and interactive activities better than they can with more ‘traditional’ tools (such as textbooks and reading from a whiteboard). (Green, 2006, p. 6). Living in a digital world with the socio-cultural demands being increased for new technological tools to teach children, teachers need to ensure that they can keep up with these new tools. Not only are technological advances important to consider when teaching students, the learning levels of the children need to be considered also. If a student does not or cannot understand new technology at a high level how can we expect them to learn anything from these technological learning tools. These learning

Although, there is no agreed definition of language among linguists, but we can say that language is the most sophisticated way of communication between any two human beings and far more complex than any other system of communication. The ability of acquiring and using languages is one of the properties that differs us as human beings from other species.
