OBJECTIVES
At the end of the session, students will
be able to:
• Demonstrate understanding of the
key ideas in language and
communication;
• Determine varieties and registers of
spoken and written language;
• Exemplify the richness and diversity of
registers used in written and spoken
communication.
What is Language?
Language can only be called if it
has a system of rules (also known
as grammar), a sound system,
(phonology) and a vocabulary
(lexicon).
(Madrunio & Martin, 2018 p. 3)
There are more than 7,100 languages in the world today.
PHILIPPINE LANGUAGES
• There are 183 languages in the
Philippines
• One national language
• 2 official languages or lingua franca
• 12 are declared official auxiliary
languages
• 35 of these languages are
considered endangered (31
threatened, 4 shifting),
• 11 are on the brink of extinction
• 2 are extinct.
Language Variety or
Dialect
A regional, stylistic, or social
variety of a language
characterized by its
own phonological, syntactic,
and lexical properties.
Language Variety
• Also called “lects”, these refer to the
different variants of a language that can
be sufficiently delimited from one
another in terms of social, historical, or
geo-spatial factors, thus forming
language clusters.
• In addition, language varieties may also
be grouped in the following
classifications:
PIDGIN
• Pidgin. It refers to a new
language that develops into
situations where speakers of
different languages need to
communicate but do not share
a common language.
• Examples are Chavacano in the
Philippines and Bislama, a
language spoken in Vanuatu.
Creole
• It is a pidgin that becomes
the first language of the
children, or the mother
tongue of a certain
community.
• Examples are the Gullah
and the Patwa, is a creole in
Jamaica.
Official Auxiliary
Languages
Auxiliary language -
refers to a particular language,
spoken in certain places, which
supports or helps the national
and/or official languages in their
assigned functions.
Dialect
• It is not a language that is not
distinct from a national language, but
rather a variety of a language spoken in
a particular area of a country.
Ex: Tagalog is a language with several
distinct varieties, such as Southern
Tagalog (Laguna, Batangas) and
Bulacan Tagalog, which are often
referred to as dialects.
Minority Dialect
• This is a variety used as a
marker of identity, usually
alongside a standard variety, by
the members of a particular
minority ethnic group.
• Examples are the Sinama of the
Badjaos in the Philippines and
the London-Jamaican variety in
Britain.
LANGUAGE REGISTER
• A language register is characterized
by the way a speaker uses language
differently in different social
circumstances.
• These are determined by such
factors as social atmosphere,
purpose of communication,
audience, and the general context of
the discourse.
FORMAL
• Formal. These registers are used in
professional, academic, or legal
settings where communication is
expected to be respectful,
uninterrupted, and restrained to
specific rules.
• Slang is never used, and
contractions are rare.
• Examples are registers used in
research paper, government
documents, business letters, and in
business presentations.
FROZEN
• It refers to historic
language that is intended
to remain unchanged.
• Examples are the registers
used in the Philippine
Constitution and the Holy
Bible
• Lord’s prayer, wedding
vows
CONSULTATIVE
• Consultative. It is used in
conversations when people are
speaking with someone who has
specialized knowledge or is offering
advice.
• Tone is often respectful, such as the
use of honorifics or courtesy titles, but
may be more casual if the relationship
between or among the communicators
is friendly.
• Examples are registers used in local
television broadcast or in a
conversation with a doctor during
medical examination.
CASUAL
 These registers are used
when communicating with
friends, close
acquaintances, colleagues,
and family members.
 These are used in birthday
parties or family
gatherings.
INTIMATE
• Intimate: Intimate language registers
are reserved for special occasions,
usually between only two people and
often in private.
• Examples are an inside joke between
two high school friends or sweet
nothings whispered to your “special
someone.”
Break Out Room
Activity
o The teacher will randomly divide the class into smaller
groups, each consisting of 4-6 students.
o In their breakout rooms, students will engage in
discussions about a series of statements. Their task is to
collectively determine whether each statement is true or
false.
o Students must briefly explain the reasons behind their
choice. Encourage them to draw on their knowledge,
experiences, and critical thinking skills to support their
arguments. They can also give examples.
o Each group will have a designated time (e.g., 10-15
minutes) to discuss as many statements as possible.
o After the discussion in the breakout room, the teacher will
bring the class back together for a brief summary. During
this time, each group can share their most compelling
findings and explanations. Each group may choose their
own representative
BREAKOUT ROOM ACTIVITY: EXPLORING
TRUTHS AND MYTHS
Language change is normal
All language speakers utilize various styles and possess a collection of subdialects or
jargons
Language operates by rules
Writing is derivative of speech
Discussion
• Each group is now encouraged
to present their most
compelling findings and
explanations.
• A designated representative
from each group will have the
opportunity to speak and
share their insights.
LANGUAGE CHANGE
IS NORMAL
• Each person went to his desk
• Each person went to his or her desk,”
• Now you can write,
• “Each person went to their desk,” which
doesn’t make assumptions about gender even if
the persons are generic.
LANGUAGE CHANGE IS
NORMAL
• The word dog was used to
refer to specific breed, but
now serves as a general
term for a quite varied
family of animals.
GAY
• This term has historically been used
for men specifically but is often a
more widely used term for both
men and women.
Speakers of all languages
employ a range of styles and
set of subdialects or jargons
• CASUAL STYLE depends on
social groupings.
• When people share
understandings and meanings
which are not complete enough
to be called intimate, they tend to
employ casual style.
• Casual style is reserved for
friend and insiders or those whom
we choose to make friends and
insiders.
Formal Style – lectures,
sermons, television newscast,
and the like.
All of us need to shift between
the intimate, casual, and
consultative styles in everyday
life, not because one or another
of these is a better way of
talking, but because each is
required in certain contexts.
JARGONS
• Each speaker uses a number of
jargons based upon his or her
affiliation with certain groups.
• The most familiar of these jargons are
occupational: doctors, lawyers,
accountants, farmers, electricians,
plumbers, truckers, and social workers
each have a job-related jargon into which
they can shift when the situation
demands it.
It is important to realize that a
language is not just an asset of a
culture or group, but of individual
human beings.
Our native language is the speech
of our parents, siblings, friends,
and community. It is a central part
of our personality, an expression,
and a mirror of what we are and
wish to be.
Our language is as personal
and as integral to each of us
as our bodies and our brains
and in our own unique ways,
we all treasure it.
Language operates
by rules
• Every speaker of a language is unique;
no one sounds exactly like everyone
else. The language differs from region
to region between social, occupational,
and ethnic groups, and even from from
one speech situation to the next.
• These variations are not mistakes or
deviations from some basic tongue but
are simply the rule-governed
alternatives which make up any
language.
Writing is derivative of speech
Writing systems are
always based upon
systems of oral
language which of
necessity develop first.
Of all the world’s
languages, only about
5 percent have
developed indigenous
writing system.

  • 4. OBJECTIVES At the end of the session, students will be able to: • Demonstrate understanding of the key ideas in language and communication; • Determine varieties and registers of spoken and written language; • Exemplify the richness and diversity of registers used in written and spoken communication.
  • 5. What is Language? Language can only be called if it has a system of rules (also known as grammar), a sound system, (phonology) and a vocabulary (lexicon). (Madrunio & Martin, 2018 p. 3)

  • 7.
  • 8. There are more than 7,100 languages in the world today.
  • 9. PHILIPPINE LANGUAGES • There are 183 languages in the Philippines • One national language • 2 official languages or lingua franca • 12 are declared official auxiliary languages • 35 of these languages are considered endangered (31 threatened, 4 shifting), • 11 are on the brink of extinction • 2 are extinct.
  • 10. Language Variety or Dialect A regional, stylistic, or social variety of a language characterized by its own phonological, syntactic, and lexical properties.
  • 11. Language Variety • Also called “lects”, these refer to the different variants of a language that can be sufficiently delimited from one another in terms of social, historical, or geo-spatial factors, thus forming language clusters. • In addition, language varieties may also be grouped in the following classifications:
  • 12. PIDGIN • Pidgin. It refers to a new language that develops into situations where speakers of different languages need to communicate but do not share a common language. • Examples are Chavacano in the Philippines and Bislama, a language spoken in Vanuatu.
  • 13. Creole • It is a pidgin that becomes the first language of the children, or the mother tongue of a certain community. • Examples are the Gullah and the Patwa, is a creole in Jamaica.
  • 14. Official Auxiliary Languages Auxiliary language - refers to a particular language, spoken in certain places, which supports or helps the national and/or official languages in their assigned functions.
  • 15. Dialect • It is not a language that is not distinct from a national language, but rather a variety of a language spoken in a particular area of a country. Ex: Tagalog is a language with several distinct varieties, such as Southern Tagalog (Laguna, Batangas) and Bulacan Tagalog, which are often referred to as dialects.
  • 16. Minority Dialect • This is a variety used as a marker of identity, usually alongside a standard variety, by the members of a particular minority ethnic group. • Examples are the Sinama of the Badjaos in the Philippines and the London-Jamaican variety in Britain.
  • 17. LANGUAGE REGISTER • A language register is characterized by the way a speaker uses language differently in different social circumstances. • These are determined by such factors as social atmosphere, purpose of communication, audience, and the general context of the discourse.
  • 18. FORMAL • Formal. These registers are used in professional, academic, or legal settings where communication is expected to be respectful, uninterrupted, and restrained to specific rules. • Slang is never used, and contractions are rare. • Examples are registers used in research paper, government documents, business letters, and in business presentations.
  • 19. FROZEN • It refers to historic language that is intended to remain unchanged. • Examples are the registers used in the Philippine Constitution and the Holy Bible • Lord’s prayer, wedding vows
  • 20. CONSULTATIVE • Consultative. It is used in conversations when people are speaking with someone who has specialized knowledge or is offering advice. • Tone is often respectful, such as the use of honorifics or courtesy titles, but may be more casual if the relationship between or among the communicators is friendly. • Examples are registers used in local television broadcast or in a conversation with a doctor during medical examination.
  • 21. CASUAL  These registers are used when communicating with friends, close acquaintances, colleagues, and family members.  These are used in birthday parties or family gatherings.
  • 22. INTIMATE • Intimate: Intimate language registers are reserved for special occasions, usually between only two people and often in private. • Examples are an inside joke between two high school friends or sweet nothings whispered to your “special someone.”
  • 23. Break Out Room Activity o The teacher will randomly divide the class into smaller groups, each consisting of 4-6 students. o In their breakout rooms, students will engage in discussions about a series of statements. Their task is to collectively determine whether each statement is true or false. o Students must briefly explain the reasons behind their choice. Encourage them to draw on their knowledge, experiences, and critical thinking skills to support their arguments. They can also give examples. o Each group will have a designated time (e.g., 10-15 minutes) to discuss as many statements as possible. o After the discussion in the breakout room, the teacher will bring the class back together for a brief summary. During this time, each group can share their most compelling findings and explanations. Each group may choose their own representative
  • 24. BREAKOUT ROOM ACTIVITY: EXPLORING TRUTHS AND MYTHS Language change is normal All language speakers utilize various styles and possess a collection of subdialects or jargons Language operates by rules Writing is derivative of speech
  • 25. Discussion • Each group is now encouraged to present their most compelling findings and explanations. • A designated representative from each group will have the opportunity to speak and share their insights.
  • 26. LANGUAGE CHANGE IS NORMAL • Each person went to his desk • Each person went to his or her desk,” • Now you can write, • “Each person went to their desk,” which doesn’t make assumptions about gender even if the persons are generic.
  • 27. LANGUAGE CHANGE IS NORMAL • The word dog was used to refer to specific breed, but now serves as a general term for a quite varied family of animals.
  • 28. GAY • This term has historically been used for men specifically but is often a more widely used term for both men and women.
  • 29. Speakers of all languages employ a range of styles and set of subdialects or jargons • CASUAL STYLE depends on social groupings. • When people share understandings and meanings which are not complete enough to be called intimate, they tend to employ casual style. • Casual style is reserved for friend and insiders or those whom we choose to make friends and insiders.
  • 30. Formal Style – lectures, sermons, television newscast, and the like. All of us need to shift between the intimate, casual, and consultative styles in everyday life, not because one or another of these is a better way of talking, but because each is required in certain contexts.
  • 31. JARGONS • Each speaker uses a number of jargons based upon his or her affiliation with certain groups. • The most familiar of these jargons are occupational: doctors, lawyers, accountants, farmers, electricians, plumbers, truckers, and social workers each have a job-related jargon into which they can shift when the situation demands it.
  • 32. It is important to realize that a language is not just an asset of a culture or group, but of individual human beings. Our native language is the speech of our parents, siblings, friends, and community. It is a central part of our personality, an expression, and a mirror of what we are and wish to be. Our language is as personal and as integral to each of us as our bodies and our brains and in our own unique ways, we all treasure it.
  • 33. Language operates by rules • Every speaker of a language is unique; no one sounds exactly like everyone else. The language differs from region to region between social, occupational, and ethnic groups, and even from from one speech situation to the next. • These variations are not mistakes or deviations from some basic tongue but are simply the rule-governed alternatives which make up any language.
  • 34. Writing is derivative of speech Writing systems are always based upon systems of oral language which of necessity develop first. Of all the world’s languages, only about 5 percent have developed indigenous writing system.
  • 36. Assignment 1. Define Communication: Provide a comprehensive definition of communication and highlight its significance in various contexts. 2. Types of Communication: Identify and describe different types of communication, such as verbal, non-verbal, written, and visual communication, and their respective roles in conveying messages effectively. 3. Explain the concept of the following: Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Extended, Organizational, Intercultural Communication. 4. Present various strategies and techniques to achieve effective communication Note: No need to submit the answers. However, your recitation during discussion will be part of the class participation.

Editor's Notes

  1. The activity aims to gather students' opinions regarding their understanding of language and what it takes to be recognized as a proficient English language speaker Here are some key criteria to be considered a good English language speaker: Fluency: Fluency refers to the ability to speak English smoothly and without hesitations. A good speaker can express thoughts without frequent pauses or stumbling over words. Pronunciation: Clear and accurate pronunciation is crucial for effective communication. A good speaker strives to pronounce words correctly to ensure that they are easily understood by listeners. 3.Vocabulary: A strong vocabulary allows a speaker to choose the right words for expressing thoughts precisely and vividly. Good speakers continuously expand their vocabulary and use diverse words appropriately. 4.Grammar and Syntax: While perfect grammar isn't necessary, a good speaker demonstrates a solid understanding of English grammar rules, ensuring that sentences are well-structured and convey the intended meaning. .
  2. Phonology is the study of phonemes in a language and the rules for their combination. A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound, such as “p” or “t.” The words “pea” and “tea” hold very different meanings due to the difference in the first phoneme of the word. Morphology is the study of the structure and construction of words. It is the aspect of language that deals with the rules that change word meaning, such as roots, prefixes, and affixes. A morpheme is the smallest unit of meaning. Syntax is the study of how we arrange words and phrases to form sentences. It requires understanding and the use of correct word order and organization. The English language follows a subject-verb-object word order. For example, “Daniel loves the llama. Semantics is the study of the rules related to the meaning or content of words. Expanding vocabulary, as well as learning synonyms, antonyms, multiple meaning words, and figurative language is critical for semantic skills. These semantic features allow for a deeper understanding of vocabulary. Pragmatics is the study of how we understand and use the social aspects of language. Pragmatic language is the social skills used in daily interactions, in both verbal and nonverbal communication.
  3. Papua New Guinea is the world's most multilingual country, with a total of 840 languages spoken Papua New Guinea’s linguistic diversity can be largely explained by the geography and topography of the island nation. Deep valleys and difficult terrain have led to the separation of tribes and clans and thus several different tongues and dialects have evolved among the country's 9.4 million population.
  4. National Language – Filipino 2 official languages – English and Filipino 12 major auxiliary languages- Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilokano, Hiligaynon, Waray-Waray, Bikol, Kapampangan, Pangasinan. Kinaray-a, Maranao, Maguindanao and Tausug Threatened” languages are those that have stopped being taught to children of a certain community. Worse still are “moribund” languages, or those only spoken by the grandparents in a group. Other moribund or “nearly extinct” languages include Isarog Agta (five documented speakers), Ata (three), Arta (11) and Sorsogon Ayta (15). The 11 "dying" languages include: Arta, Bontok (Northern), Bontok (Southwestern), Dumagat (Remontado), Inagta Alabat, Agta (Katubung), Ata, Ayta (Sorsogon), Ratagnon, Tagbanwa (Central), Eskayan 2 extinct- Two Aeta languages, Dicamay Agta and Villa Viciosa Agta, are already extinct.

  5. Language, it says, is a mass noun that describes “the method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way.” Using that definition, Tagalog can be considered the predominant language spoken in the National Capital Region and the southern Tagalog provinces. By the way, so is Bisaya/Cebuano, which is the lingua franca in Central Visayas and parts of Eastern Visayas as well as most of Christian Mindanao. Cebuano, Waray, Ilocano, and Hiligaynon in the Philippines. What is a dialect then? And why are seemingly intelligent people here in the Philippines continuing to interchange the two? The Oxford Dictionary defines dialect as “a particular form of a language which is peculiar to a specific region or social group.” To put it simply, a dialect is a variety of a language. Its intonation may vary from one place to another, but its speakers can still understand each other unless, of course, they’re from Quebec and the people in France will swear they speak a different language
  6. Examples: Cebuano is a distinct language with various regional varieties, including Cebuano Bohol, Cebuano Leyte, Mindanao Cebuano, and Davao Cebuano, which are classified as dialects
  7. TRUE. the even more outdated use of “he” as a universal stand-in for both genders. “Each person went to their desk,” which doesn’t make assumptions about gender even if the persons are generic. However, the new use of “they” also acknowledges the specific pronoun of persons who don’t identify with “he” or “she.” In that sense, using “they” offers language that is “respectful and inclusive,” according to the American Psychological Association (APA) Style Blog
  8. Another example: Which one is correct birthday celebrator or birthday celebrant? A celebrant is someone who officiates at a rite or ceremony. It is specifically for someone presiding over the Eucharist, a bread and wine sacrament. A celebrator is someone who celebrates or recognizes a special event by having a party or some other unique activity. Since changes in language is common, it is now acceptable to say birthday celebrant.
  9. TRUE. Speakers employ a range of styles and set of subdialects or jargons
  10. TRUE
  11. TRUE. Language operates by rules Every speaker of a language is unique; no one sounds exactly like anyone else. The language differs from region to region, between social, occupational and ethnic groups, and even from one speech situation to the next. These variations are not mistakes or deviations from some basic tongue but are simply the rule-governed alternatives which make up any language.
  12. Writing systems are always based upon systems of oral language which of necessity develop first. People have been talking for at least a half million years, but the earliest known writing system appeared fewer than 5,000 years ago. Of all the world's languages, only about 5 percent have developed indigenous writing systems. In other words, wherever there are human beings, we will always find language, but not necessarily writing. If language is indeed a biologically programmed trait of the species, writing does not seem to be part of the standard equipment.
