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?

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.

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...

Attitudes Toward Language

Arguments  For Creole as a Language: Over here they basically ask you for the characteristics of a language. You're supposed to say that Creole is dynamic/human/systematic etc. so therefore it is a language and equal to Standard English. What language are you writing this exam in again? Standard English? Oh the hypocrisy CAPE! Arguments  Against Creole as a Language: Throw all that bullshit about national pride and heritage out the window now. Who gives a shit if we're independent nations? Europe is the shit! We should be more like them. Creole is the language of the lower class, uneducated, powerless, country folk and persons whose ancestors were slaves and indentured workers in the Caribbean! It has no prestige and it is sub-standard and inferior! (word of advice, I don't think examiners appreciate this much sarcasm in answers, so tone it down a little)  Creole cannot be written as there is no consensus on an official written form Creole la...
