Spoken Language

There are three different types of sets of words which has same sounds and which look alike.They are

Language is the system of communication used by people worldwide. It’s a human faculty that distinguishes human beings from animals. English is considered a universal language that many countries use as a native language like Britain and Australia or as a second language like India. Wherever English is available, it offers a better communication between citizens of a country and travelers. Like all languages, English has variations in its pronunciation and accents. Sometimes misspelling of words leads to misunderstandings between people. Therefore, everyone should study phonetics which is the study of sounds made by the human voice in speech. Phonetics can be divided into : sounds, letters, consonants, and vowels.

People spend a significant part of their lives listening and talking, that is the main reason why conversation is regarded to be the most generalised form of talk that concerns both speakers and listeners and it is contemplated to be the essential ingredient in co-operative undertaking (Wardhaugh, 1985). Conversation is informal talk involving two or more people and interviews are a particular type of conversation. Interviews are regarded as meetings at which a journalist asks questions in order to find out the interviewee’s opinion. This is an assignment that analyses a telephone interview, so there is an absence of eye contact, body language or facial expressions that are attributes of a ‘live’

Talking incorrectly can sometimes have advantages and disadvantages while communicating with others. People nowadays talk slang and incorrect grammar. But still, it is still very effective to us right now. People haven’t noticed but language today has changed very much compared to how people used to speak 10 or even 20 years ago. Stories written by Kirk Johnson, David Sedaris, and Anita Jain all show the how speaking today has changed.

She uses appropriate verb tenses. Also, she knows the name of the colors. For example, Eva was in the Science

Looking at two instances of two forms of spoken language, we can easily determine whether it is scripted or spontaneous. One instance is a scripted speech delivered in front of the victims and congress 9 days after the 9/11 attack and was conducted by George W. Bush- the President of United States where the attack took place and the world in shock. This was a very anticipated talk as this was the first time he spoke publicly since the event that took many people’s lives. Another instance of spoken language is the spontaneous interview of George Bush by Carole Coleman which occurred 3 years after the 9/11 attack took place. Bush had carried out this interview in preparation for his visit to Ireland and to gain support by justifying his decision

“For reasons that are obscure to me, those qualities we cherish in our artists we condemn in our politicians.” These qualities that Zadie is talking about is the ability to have many colored voices. In her lecture, “Speaking in Tongues”, Zadie talks about her own experiences with speaking in many voices. For her, it was having a less educated voice growing up and changing, letting go, for a more sophisticated voice of lettered people. The quote from Zadie Smith holds a lot of truth. People will often try to argue, but it is true that artists are supported for also having many colored voices while politicians are looked down at for that very same thing. The human mind, subconsciously, will always see politicians as people that should have an unchanging and singular voice. Artists, on the other hand, are respected and loved for their many colored voices. One may wonder why it has to be this way? Politicians are held up to such a high standard, everything they say is written and recorded, so if they have one too many voices they will lose power and respect or even sound contradictory. Politicians have to maintain a singular, strong voice to the public even if they have hidden voices, while artists are encouraged to use many.

Darali (2007) concerns pragmatic perspective of Spectrum textbooks. For this purpose Searle’s (1976) model of speech acts, Halliday’s (1985) model of child language functions and Leech’s (1983) taxonomy of rogative (quering) adopted for analysis. Results of the study reveal that selected series provided a variety of language functions but some unintended and less frequent daily conversations like: vowing, promising, and threatening used more frequently than others. Moreover, Spectrum textbooks afford valuable metalinguistic information, but the series need explanation in the use of different forms in a particular situation.

The English language shows a sense of beauty in its own right through its myriad of words that can be used to paint a picture in the mind of its user. Some concede that the language is declining as older words are replaced by newer slang and the media spreads such colloquialisms to its viewers. Even the writer Thomas Lounsbury claimed that “the English tongue is always in the condition approaching collapse” (Bauer and Trudgill 15). In reality, workers in the media reflect the changing language to keep up with the common speech of their readers and viewers. This is clearly evinced in the common practices of newspapers and television as they adapt their speech in order to fit that of their target audience.

Accepted rules of grammar determine when a spoken language is grammatical or ungrammatical as opposed determining if a spoken language is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’; therefore, spoken language that I generally use may be considered as incorrect for several reasons. For example, use of double negatives and contractions such as ‘he aint not goin nowhere’ (he is not going anywhere), colloquial terms like ‘he did the Ben Harry’ (he ran as fast as he was able) or first person pronouns ‘I think it’s hot today’ (today the weather is hot) is ungrammatical language but not

The original interview approach was inspired by previous work on how men communicate their different sociolinguistic perspectives. (Coates, 2003; Edley and Wetherell, 1999; Cough and Edwards, 1998).

Language in society is constantly being spoken in several different ways—whether that consists of speaking in different languages, or communicating differently when speaking and writing. Furthermore, language is often described as words used to communicate amongst others around you. As you become older, you quickly realize that language comes with much more than words. Many languages; if not all, have several different dialects—some to the point where the words can’t be recognized whatsoever. Consequently, it’s not only important to recognize the innumerable different forms of language varieties, but to understand what language varieties you command in different daily situations.

B. Shaw explains that although it is an insult to the native speaker of English, who cannot understand his own language when it is too well spoken, times have changed and we simply have to accept the fact that ‘Good English’ is more important than ‘Correct English’. Although outdated in modern times, this piece has not yet become obsolete. Today’s modern times may have impacted our other senses in a positive way but our language skills have definitely suffered. This piece can surely help us understand the basics of the language and help in efficient communication process. A study of this recording can help people overcome their obsession for correct English and start focussing on the good aspect of
