4. 2.1. WHAT IS HUMAN LANGUAGE ?
A language is a system used to
communicate.
There are similarities and differences
between human and animal
communication.
Language seems to be as old as your
species.
Nothing in the animal Kingdom even
approximates to human language.
5. Not limited in time or space.
Each language is both arbitrary and
systematic.
There are no primitive or inferior
languages.
Human language at all levels is rule
governed.
Even the formal structures of language
are similar.
The ability to speak depends on the
human l-shaped vocal tract, with the
lowered larynx.

8. Thetheory of blank slates versus the
innate biological endowment.
Fora long time it was believed that
language was simply learnt. The
presumption was that our minds at
birth were blank slates on to which the
rules of our native languages were
written. Children learn by repetition,
language is learnt behaviour.
9. Thecentral question of linguistics is the
nature of the innate biological
endowment (Universal Grammar)
which enables humans to acquire a
language so rapidly and efficiently in
the first year of life.
“Children seemed to be programmed
to learn language, just as they seemed
to be programmed to walk. To a baby
no language is easier or more difficult
than any other”
10. Children do not merely repeat what they
hear.
Language teaching has never adopted a
methodology based strictly on
Chomsky’swork. However, this idea of
creativity, has informed many teaching
techniques.

11. In this view the study of language is
ultimately the study of the human mind.
One reason for studying language is that
it is tempting to regard language, in the
traditional phrase, as "a mirror of mind." By
studying language we may discover
abstract principles that govern its
structure and use, principles that are
universal by biological necessity and not
mere historical accident, that derive from
mental characteristics of the species.
13. Isvery difficult say how many languages
there are in the world .
And is very difficult too, say two speech
varieties are, different languages or
different dialects of the same language.
It estimated that there are about 6.000
languages in the world.

26. Thisclassification is based on the
differences or similarities existing in
languages.
In
this case we will analyze the
morphological typology and the
syntactic typology:
27. The morphology is understood, by a
wide range of works, as the study of
the structure of the word, therefore,
focuses on the elements of a word, the
relations between them, and the
properties derived from its articulation
in a result which is the word.
28. a) Isolating languages: the words in these
languages tend to be a single
morpheme.
b) Inflecting, synthetic or fusion
languages: These languages change
endings and sometimes the internal
structure of words to show grammatical
relationships - tense, aspect, case and so
on
29. c)Agglutinative or agglutinating
languages: These languages add
suffixes and prefixes (as well as infixes)
to the stem of a word to add to its
meaning or to show grammatical
function.
d)Polysynthetic or incorporating
languages: languages which words
are composed of many morphemes.
30. According to the syntactic typology of
languages they are divided into different
types on the basis of the order of the
grammatical elements (subject (S), object
(O) and verb (V)) in a sentence. Apart
from the free word order languages, there
are six possibilities:
• Subject Verb Object (SVO)
• Subject Object Verb (SOV)
• Verb Subject Object (VSO)
• Verb Object Subject (VOS)
• Object Subject Verb (OSV)
• Object Verb Subject (OVS)
31. We also have to bear in mind that
following one pattern as a norm
doesn´t mean we can´t find a different
one for specific purposes or special
effects.
32. It
is based on linguistic similarities which
have arisen from cultural contact
between linguistic communities.
33. o Origin of pictographic (objects) West Asia, EastAsia
writing ideographic (ideas) Central America
o Symbols + sounds new writing systems (e.g. syllable)
o Cuneiform Mesopotamia clay
writing 1st written language was Sumerian reed stylus
o In 1600 BC, Chinese writing was developed independently.
o Around 2000 BC, the first written alphabet developed by
semitic workers in egypt.
o In 2600 BC, Sumeiran cuneiform script the earliest with
Egyptian hieroglyps coherent texts
o In 3200 BC, the first recognizable documents appeared in
Uruk.(sumerian sign sumerian word ═ picture of the
object named by the word)
o Ancient Greek alphabet (vowels and consonants as
separate symbols)
34. o Three categories: logographic, syllabic and alphabetic.
They can appear in the same writing system
A) Logographic writing systems
The first known writing systems based on pictographic and ideographic
elements.
Logograma(a single written character) represents grammatical word
many logogramas represent language writing
Disadvantage many logogramas and memorization of their meaning.
Advantage the meaning is inherent the symbol so many
languages use the same logograms.

35. A syllabary is a set of written symbols that
represent syllables, which make up words.
A symbol in a syllabary represents a
consonant sound followed by a vowel, or
just a vowel alone.
