This document discusses how language varies based on social and geographical factors. It explores differences in dialect, accent, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation between varieties of English like British English, American English, and Australian English. Language variation exists across registers that are conditioned by their uses, like legal or religious registers, and between formal and informal styles of speech. Communities that share linguistic norms and rules for language use are called speech communities, and a speaker's communicative competence involves their underlying knowledge of a language's rules and how to use them.

Introduction to the study of languageC.B. Balaban

This document discusses the theoretical study of language. It examines language as a semiotic system using signs, signifiers and signifieds. It also looks at how language has different modes of communication like speech, writing and signing. Finally, it analyzes the rules and principles of language, including grammar, competence, performance, and what makes language grammatical or acceptable in different social contexts.Ling1005

The document discusses various types of language change that can occur over time, including morphological, syntactic, semantic and phonological changes. It provides examples of each type of change using English. The document also discusses how language change spreads within a community and how language serves to establish individuals' identities. Signaling identity through language use can have consequences, as stereotypes may lead listeners to form assumptions about a person based on characteristics like ethnicity perceived from their language.Varieties of english (map)

There are five major types of linguistic variation: regional, social, field of discourse, medium, and attitude. Regional variation refers to differences in language based on the region where a person lives or has lived. Social variation means differences according to factors like education, socioeconomic class, ethnicity, age, and sex. Variation can also occur based on the communication medium (spoken vs. written) and the attitude or level of formality with which a message is conveyed.Properties of human language

Human language has several key properties:
1. It allows for displacement by referring to past and future events as well as abstract concepts, unlike animal communication which is limited to the immediate moment.
2. The relationship between linguistic forms and their meanings is arbitrary - there is no natural connection between a word's form and what it refers to.
3. It is productive, allowing humans to combine linguistic elements to create an infinite number of new expressions, while animal communication uses a fixed set of signals.Language and sounds Ahmed Qadoury Abed

This document discusses the concepts of language and sound. It begins by posing some general questions about the relationship between language and sounds, such as what is considered a language, whether all sounds can be part of a language, and if animals have languages. It then examines several definitions of language from linguists such as Sapir, Bloch & Trager, Hall, and Gimson. A common theme in the definitions is that language is a system of communication. The document also discusses the physical nature of sounds, how they are produced, and the stages of sound production. It explores the differences between human language and animal communication systems.Hockett

Charles Hockett identifies 16 design features of human language including vocal production, rapid fading of signals, interchangeability of roles between speakers, ability to perceive and correct errors, biologically trivial signals, semanticity or reference to objects in the world, arbitrariness of signals, discreteness of parts, ability to refer to things not present, productivity or ability to create novel utterances, cultural transmission through learning, duality of patterning, ability to communicate about communication, and learnability of new languages. He analyzes communication systems in other species like bees, monkeys, apes and whales against these design features and finds they lack several features like displacement, productivity and duality of patterning that are central to human language.Varieties of english PPT

1. Language variation occurs according to field of discourse, medium, and attitude.
2. Variation according to field relates to the type of activity engaged in through language, such as medicine or business.
3. Variation according to medium is related to whether language is spoken or written.
4. Variation according to attitude refers to whether language is used in a formal or informal manner.Understanding language

The document discusses the key components of language:
- Semantics refers to the system of meanings expressed by words and phrases. Learning new words is difficult for children.
- Phonology is the system of speech sounds in a language. Children learn the phonemes of their native language.
- Morphology studies the smallest units of meaning, like morphemes and affixes, which are critical to vocabulary development.
- Syntax involves combining words and morphemes into sentences according to grammatical rules.
- Pragmatics governs social uses of language based on context, turn-taking, and shared understanding between speakers.Language _linguistics

Linguistics is the scientific study of language. It involves analyzing languages and their structures at various levels including sounds, words, sentences, meanings, and uses in social contexts. The key features of human language that distinguish it from animal communication are its arbitrariness, creativity, displacement, and structure-dependence. Linguistics seeks to understand the nature, structure, and variation of language through scientific methods.Intro to language

This document provides an introduction to linguistics and language. It defines language as the study of how language is used, acquired, changes over time, and is represented in the brain. Key components of grammar are identified as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. Characteristics of grammar discussed include generality, parity, universality, mutability, and inaccessibility. Linguistic competence is investigated by focusing on the mental system of grammar.Accents and Dialects

Sign language is a visual language that uses manual gestures, facial expressions, and body movements to communicate. It allows deaf and non-verbal people to communicate with each other. Research in the 1960s showed that sign languages like American Sign Language have their own grammars and syntax, and can express anything spoken languages can. Sign languages have their own vocabularies and rules for combining signs into sentences. While some sign languages directly represent spoken words, most have developed independently with their own structures and rules.Different ways to communicate

Body language is an important form of non-verbal communication but gestures and expressions can vary across cultures. For example, nodding means "yes" in most places but "no" in parts of Greece, Bulgaria, and Turkey, while eye contact has different meanings depending on whether you're in the West or parts of Asia and Africa. Sign language uses hand shapes, positions and movements to communicate and differs depending on the country, while Morse code represents letters and numbers using a series of dots and dashes tapped out electronically along cables.Sign language copy (2)

Sign language is a visual language that uses hand gestures, facial expressions, and body movements rather than sounds to communicate. It is a fully developed language that deaf communities use, as deaf children cannot acquire spoken language without hearing it. While some credit early humans as developing the first rudimentary sign languages, the early modern sign language is traced to Juan Pablo de Bonet's 1620 book documenting a manual system using hand shapes to represent speech sounds.Language & Communication

An accent describes aspects of pronunciation that identify where a speaker is from regionally or socially, while a dialect describes features of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Specifically, an accent is how a word is pronounced, whereas a dialect can include different words altogether or variations in grammar. For example, the Noakhali language dialect of Bangladesh includes distinctive words and grammar compared to other dialects.Varieties of English Language

People's language use is influenced by their social group, region, field of discourse, medium of communication, and attitude. Variations in dialects developed over time due to regional separation and the British conquest, with educated speakers using standard English and non-educated speakers using nonstandard English. While there are global, American, and British standards of English, other English-speaking regions also developed their own standards that distinguish based on field of discourse, medium, and speaker attitude.Neural basis of sign language

Sign language uses visual gestures rather than sounds to communicate. While different from spoken languages, sign languages have a similar underlying linguistic structure using words, grammar and sentences. Neurologically, both sign and spoken languages activate Broca's area for language production, though sign language relies more on visual processing. Studies also show semantic processing occurs in distinct brain regions for comprehending meaning regardless of input or output modality.Lesson 1 defining language

Language is a complex system of communication that is unique to humans. It uses various systematic elements like sound and grammar to convey meaning. Sound patterns take on meaning when combined according to the rules of a language's grammar, where word order is critical. As a symbolic system, language evolves over time as new words are introduced and meanings of words change, allowing humans to articulate thought.Language as a tool of communication

Ìý
Language is an artificial, restricted, abstract, and arbitrary tool used for communication. It is artificial because it is man-made rather than natural. It is restricted because language must be used accurately to describe reality and avoid confusion, and should be corroborated with other communication methods when needed. Language is abstract because it uses symbols like words or gestures to represent concepts instead of the concepts themselves. The symbols used in language are arbitrary and not inherently related to what they represent.Chapter 2: Verbal Language

Verbal communication is the human capacity for acquiring and using complex systems of communication through language. Language allows humans to express thoughts and feelings through spoken sounds or symbols. It also allows humans to designate, label, define and limit; evaluate; and discuss things outside immediate experience.
The meaning of words comes from how people use and interpret them, not the words themselves. Words can have denotation and connotation meanings, and meaning depends on syntactic context. Language evolves over time as societies change with immigration and other factors.
Some ways to improve verbal communication skills include using clear, concrete language with appropriate details; being linguistically sensitive to vocabulary level and potential offenses; and adapting language style to the listeners.Varieties of English

The document discusses different types of variation in English, including regional dialects, social variations, and national standards. It notes that regional dialects depend on where people live, social variations depend on social groups and education levels, and national standards of English include British, American, and other country-specific variations with some differences in grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Standard English aims for uniformity but still varies based on factors like medium, attitude, and situation.Language, society and culture (map)

Sociolinguistics deals with the interrelationships between language and society. It examines how social factors such as class, education, age, gender, ethnicity, and group membership influence language use. Varieties of language are used according to social values like overt prestige for recognized better ways of speaking or covert prestige attached to non-standard forms by certain subgroups. Social class and education are reflected in the way people speak through details like (h)-dropping, which is associated with lower class and less education.1 introduction to the study of language (1)

It discusses that sign language involves hand shapes, movements, and facial expressions to communicate instead of speaking. There are two main types - alternate sign language used in limited contexts and primary sign language which is the first language of deaf communities. Sign language is important for deaf people to exercise their rights and access information as it allows communication without spoken language.Organigramas de Linguistica

Linguistics is the scientific study of language and involves studying topics like grammar, sounds, meaning, history and more. It emerged in the 19th century to distinguish a newer scientific approach from the traditional approach of philology. Related disciplines include sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, computational linguistics and others. Contrastive linguistics specifically studies differences and similarities between two or more languages. It provides insights useful for language teaching by identifying potential areas of difficulty for language learners.Language in Society

English has many dialects that vary based on region and social class. The document examines dialects in Papua New Guinea, which contains over 1,500 languages spoken by small village groups. A study examined how people from different villages requested betel nut to chew, finding both identical dialects and close relationships between dialects of the same language. While languages and dialects exist on a continuum, political and social factors also influence whether varieties are considered separate languages or dialects.More Related Content

Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and society. Key aspects studied include languages in contact, language variation, and language and gender. [1] Language varies based on social factors like gender, age, social class, and ethnicity. [2] Men and women tend to use language differently, with women generally using more questions, self-disclosure, and minimal responses while men tend toward verbal aggression and changing conversation topics. [3] The study of language variation according to social factors provides insights into membership in social groups and cultural norms.Sociolinguistic relativity

Sociolinguistic relativity refers to the set of conventions and rules unique to language use within a community. It examines the relationship between language and society. The theory suggests that language shapes our cognition and influences how we see the world. Different social and cultural backgrounds can lead to different value systems for speech and social behavior. Understanding sociolinguistic diversity and cultural relativity helps explain why differences in language use across cultures does not mean one culture is superior. Violations of sociolinguistic rules within a culture, such as not acknowledging compliments, can be seen as offensive.Andrea Quiñonez Contrasts of English and Spanish Fricative

This document discusses language, dialects, and registers. It begins by defining the difference between a language and dialect, noting that a dialect is a regional variety of a larger language. It then discusses two types of dialects: geographical/regional dialects, which vary based on geographic location; and social dialects, also called sociolects, which vary based to social factors like occupation, age, or class. Finally, it defines language registers as levels of formality, outlining five main registers from frozen to intimate and factors like audience and purpose that influence register choice.Social dialects

2) It can be difficult for speech-language pathologists to distinguish between dialect features and communication disorders.
3) The role of speech-language pathologists is to treat only features that represent true errors, not aspects attributable to dialect variation. Elective services may also be provided to speakers of nonstandard dialects seeking standard English skills.

Language can be defined as a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used by a social group to communicate and express ideas, identities, and emotions. There are many variations within and across languages, including dialects, registers, sociolects, and ethnolects that vary by region, social group, ethnicity, gender, and even individual. Some key types of linguistic variations include dialects, which can differ in vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation depending on geography; sociolects, which vary based on social factors like education and class; and idiolects, an individual's unique way of speaking. Languages exist on spectrums and can be classified based on various social and historical contexts.Teachpron todo

Teaching pronunciation involves teaching the sounds, stress, rhythm, and intonation patterns of a language. It includes identifying phonemes - the smallest units of sound that distinguish meaning. Teachers should provide authentic models, encourage listening practice, and integrate pronunciation into other lessons. They should also teach recognition before production and be aware of how a student's first language may influence their pronunciation in a second language. Effective techniques include using phonetic scripts, minimal pairs, and awareness of universal processes of pronunciation acquisition.Cmap language in society

This document summarizes two English lessons taught to an 11th grade class. In Lesson 2, the teacher had students work in pairs to discuss situations and create advice after students were talkative from time off for a holiday. In Lesson 4, the teacher had students only create posters with job advice due to a matching activity taking longer than planned, removing the poster presentation from that lesson. Assessment results showed most students successfully identified jobs vocabulary and used modal verbs for advice.MDD 4

Students learned about giving advice using the modal verb "should".
The teacher presented examples such as "You should get a part time job" and "You should pay attention in class".
Students then practiced rearranging sentences using the structure Subject + Should + Verb + Complement.
As a production activity, students worked in pairs to write three pieces of advice each for three teenagers with problems, using "should".MDD 1

The document analyzes a teacher's perspective on a course book used for teaching English. The teacher finds the course book provided by the Chilean government to be important, but thinks it focuses too much on grammar and needs more engaging, communicative activities. He supplements it with materials from other sources. While the course book provides structure, its topics are sometimes boring and it lacks suggestions for teaching diverse age groups. The teacher believes course books should be more updated to hold students' interest.Coursebook reflection

The document summarizes a course assignment where students evaluated an English textbook used in Chilean public schools. They analyzed that the textbook was quite plain and lacked current information and images. One key aspect realized was that teachers have the ability to decide whether to use the entire textbook to organize lessons or select and adapt materials appropriately according to students' needs, as the author's professors had done by choosing activities based on the class level and preferences. Coursebooks can be useful tools if used properly with students' needs in mind.Coursebook

This coursebook evaluation analyzes a textbook called "Global English" used for teaching English at the high school level in Chile. The evaluation provides details about the textbook's content, format, strengths, and weaknesses. It finds that the textbook has an organized structure introducing vocabulary, grammar, activities and assessments in each unit. However, it notes there is a lack of engaging speaking and reading activities. The evaluation also includes analyses of sample dialogues to examine features like lexical density. Overall, while the textbook provides a basic progression of English skills, the evaluation suggests it would benefit from more authentic materials and supplemental activities.LLP reflection

This document summarizes the key things the author learned about the lexical approach to teaching English as a second language. The author learned that the lexical approach focuses on (1) teaching language in chunks rather than isolated words to mimic natural language acquisition, and (2) prioritizing vocabulary over grammar. Through practice teaching, the author observed students understanding whole sentences first before focusing on specific words, showing how the lexical approach helped students comprehend language in a more holistic way.Language in Society/Society in Language
