Language is something that we as humans use to communicate with one another; so do animals but they communicate differently. Language is something that plays a main part in everyone’s life. Language is used in many modes, such as spoken, written, and sign. Body language supports these modes when we communicate with one another. Language is made up of one or more sounds that are combined into a specific meaning called language. Example; some – someone; which are to different words that are formed together to create a different meaning. From the moment were born we have language and have the skills to gain on over time.
There are 8 main categories of words. A verb which is an action word; noun which is a thing or person; an adjective which describes a noun; Adverb, which describes a verb or adverb or an adjective; pronoun which replaces a noun; preposition which links another noun to a word; a conjunction which joins sentences and words. All of us use these word categories on a day-to-day basis.
Why; why do we use language and how?
Language is something that plays a vital role in everyone’s life. We use language so we have the ability to communicate and interact with one another. There are many reasons that we use language, for example, to express our feelings, ask questions, to socialize, inform if needed and there are many more reasons.
Language can be verbal and non-verbal.
Paralinguistic cues such as body language; hand gestures and eye
contact are non-verbal and help to better get across one’s point when speaking.
