Language As We Know It


Language as we know it consists of the thought of what it is and why it is. Based on this the first consideration or theory of thought is that sound or the issue of sound that has been constructively evolved to words has to be acknowledged as the beginning point. Also, because it involves sound it is one of the bases for communication and is labeled as the scientific study called linguistics. Human language involves the properties of thousands of languages that are sometimes immersed between others by the use of encoded media which is a segment of an auditory apparatus, visual and tactile stimuli, and includes graphic writing, Braille or whistling. These properties are allowable because they are modality – interdependent and involve the cognitive ability and development that is reflective of verbal behavior channeled by evolution of thought to thought then language. Reflective of this point is that language and cognizance is separable but interdependent and is of a required nature of mutually supportive ability.

Further both language and cognizance are supportive of each other and are viewed as indeed the vehicle of thought which in fact require a continual learning pattern that is automatically established and allows the growth of language that entails that scholars first uses theoretical or psycholinguistics models of language

learning to establish and support the learning of language to understand, acquire and produce acceptable patterns of sound.

How do these sounds evolve into language that would be conceivably classified as mentally, cognitive and psychologically acceptable sound pattern with meaning attached. As established would these structural based sounds have meaningful patterns and word sentence structure to be used as a given language of communication? As a pattern of spoken language there are of course two approaches: prescriptive and descriptive approach. The prescriptive approach involves the laying down of rules of a language and usages of interactive words in sentence structure which subsequently leads to language as we know it. The descriptive approach is more of an exploratory venture in language and the function it serves both as a preserver of the united sounds, words, sentence structural basis with meaning and the eventual composition of all to form language.

Both approaches are of course an aspect of linguistic and conceptability of merged vocal ability and verbal and serves as an additional stabilizer of the further evolution of language. Another approach is the traditional language study that is based not on the descriptive, prescriptive approach but is a study or approach that emphasizes not meaning but structure. Further based on this it is meaning and words that establishes the fluctuations and changes in language.
