Title: What is language?
Goal: Using own ideas, answer the question what is language in relation to your own experiences and language competencies.
Key points I highlighted for the text:
1) What it means to know a language?
2) What’s its main purpose (communication)
3) Different aspects of language such as sign language, spoken language, etc
4) Sound systems. How every language has its own set of sounds that are unique to the language.
5) Variations of languages. How received pronunciations, which is the “correct” way to speak english now has many variations such as American vs British english. And even within those countries there are more variations.
6) How language is ever evolving.For more information on What Is language? read this:org/wiki/Language” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language
