What is Language ?
Pre-theoretically we all have a
good idea what a language is .
The first thing comes to mind is
our own native language.
Language is an art of
communication , the desires
and expressions to others . It’s
been serving the man kind
from several years
Human Language has two
types verbal and non verbal.
Verbal refers to as one that
is conveyed through words
Non verbal refers to as language
of expression
Human language also has complex
compositional syntax . The meanings
of our sentences are composed from the
meaning of the constituent parts (e.g
the words)
Human language is recursion is
discussed , and related to these
features of learned symbols and
compositional syntax.
Language makes science possible, by
making available available a vast
web of concepts at least partly
defined in terms of words.
Language helps the human in
development into what they
are today.
Human through the use of
language are so able to make an
another language we know as
machine language
Human Language is qualitatively
different from animals
communication
Human Language is unique in
comparison to other forms of
communication , such as those used by
non-human
Human Language is also
unique in having the property of
recursivity
Human language is open-ended and
productive, meaning that it allows
humans to produce a vast assortment of
utterances from a finite set of elements,
and to create new words and sentences
Human language is based on a dual
code, where a finite number of
meaningless elements (e.g. sounds, letters
or gestures) can be combined to form
units of meaning (words and sentences)
Human languages also differ from
animal communication systems in that they
employ grammatical and semantic
categories, such as noun and verb, present
and past, which may be used to express
exceedingly complex meanings
Human language is also the only known
natural communication system whose
adaptability may be referred to as
modality independent. This means that it
can be used not only for communication
through one channel or medium, but
through several.
Human language is also unique in
being able to refer to abstract concepts
and to imagined or hypothetical events
as well as events that took place in the
past or may happen in the future.
Human language makes it
possible for large groups to
combine for a common
purpose.
Language makes it
possible to theorize about
language itself.
