Difference Between Language and A Language


Communication Studies requires us to differentiate between language and a language. This is an extremely important lesson, without which will will DIE! Okay maybe not but the difference is more than a simple 'a'. Just learn it to be on the safe side, it'll come for Paper 01A (maybe).

A language refers to one recognizable, identifiable or acceptable entity used by one or more community/ies of speakers. (definition right there bitches!)
Language is an ability which every human being has and allows him or her to communicate not only with other human beings but also with him/herself.

So basically language is the general term that refers to all language systems (definition for 'a language') as a general phenomenon.

Communicative Behaviors

Yes another important topic. Have fun  :) Communicative behaviour is basically what is communicated to the listener by the speaker. Its the impression that they get. The speaker may be unaware of these impressions but they say a lot about a person. Let me tell you about them in fancy CAPE words: Vocalics or paralangue - this refers how how loud/fast the speaker talks (volume/rate), their tone and pitch of voice. Basically how they speak. Example?  Someone who speaks really quickly, with a high pitch during an interview can be assumed to be nervous.  Someone who speaks my sarcastic monotone is conveying that they are bored and probably annoyed at how stupid you are.   Proxemics - you know, like proximity? That's basically the speaker's use of space when they try to deliever a message. What do these things say about the speaker? They stand six inches in front of you They stay in one place when delivering a speech, gr...

Characteristics of Language

Okay this is important. This comes phrased in all sorts of strange ways but basically every year it comes. So know this shit.  Language is  Human  - It is only spoken/written/used by humans for communication. The parrot doesn't know what he's talking about. Don't listen to him.  Language is  verbal  - it doesn't matter whether it's written or oral...words are still involved.  Arbitrary  - there is no fixed association between the words in a language and the objects or ideas it signifies or represents. Objects have different words in different languages. (book, libre, livre all mean well...book, they all mean the same thing but they are different words.) Similarly the same word can have different meanings in different languages (fag in American slang is a derogatory term for a homosexual, in British slang it means a cigarette.)    Systematic  - language is rule...

The Creole Continuum

Image
Okay here in the Caribbean we have something special we have THE CREOLE CONTINUUM. Let me explain this wonderful thing to you. People speak differently here, even within our dialects. Look at this: Yes, we went to the river today to get some fish for the broth Yeah, we went to de riva today to get some fish for de broth. Yer gyal, me and he went dung by de riva taday ta geh some fish for de brot (yeah not too sure about this example...just trying to prove a point) Variation in speech can be found on the creole continuum. It links the more standard end of the linguistic range to the creole end. Let me illustrate with illustrations.  buum..buum buum!! CONTINUUM!!!  Let's use Jamaica as an example, although their official language is Jamaican Standard English, there are still variations of speech even within that. I've never been to Jamaica but I assume the people in the rural areas speak differently from let's say Parliamentarians. The people i...
