LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION
  Real Communication by Dan O’Hair and Mary Weimann
LANGUAGE
 What is language?
LANGUAGE

A word is a symbol or a sign for
something which forms a language.

Words have multiple meanings.

Denotative meaning is a basic and
acceptable definition.

Connotative meaning is the
emotional or response that people
have to it.
LANGUAGE

Cognitive language is the language we use to
describe people, things, or situations in our
mind.

This is related to our thoughts, attitudes, co-
cultures, the society in which we live.

This can influence language and how we form
our message.
GRAMMAR
The system of rules of a language that serves as a way to
create words, phrases and sentences.

Language is bound by relational, situational, and cultural
context.

To communicate well, you must understand the context as
much as the grammar.
WHAT IS FOCACCE?
WHAT IS FOCACCE?
    We need the context...

to use the words in a

and effectively in context.

PROBLEMS WITH LANGUAGE
     AND MEANING

Hayakawa’s abstraction ladder

  vague to specific

  low is very specific
PROBLEMS
 evasion

 equivocation

 euphemisms

 slang

 jargon
PROBLEMS
 Semantics is the meaning of
 words.

 Pragmatics is the appropriate
 use of words.

 Use of labels can erase
 individual differences.
PROBLEMS
 Biased language is infused
 with subtle meanings that
 might affect our perceptions.

 PC-Politically Correct!

 facts, opinions, inferences

 “Just so you know, we’re on the good
 side with y’all. We do not want this war,
 this violence, and we’re ashamed that
 the President of the United States is
 from Texas.”
LANGUAGE AND CONTEXT
LANGUAGE BEHAVIORS

 Speech repertoires are files of
 language possibilities.

   church

   family

   friends

   work
LANGUAGE BEHAVIORS

  Relationships

  High language

  Low language

  How comfortable are you?
LANGUAGE BEHAVIORS

  Sapir-Whorf hypothesis
  says our words influence
  our thinking.

  If there is no word in that
  language for something,
  then the culture likely has
  few thoughts about that
  concept.
LANGUAGE BEHAVIORS

  Linguistic determinism-
  language determines how
  we see the world around
  us.

  Linguistic relativity-
  speakers of different
  languages have different
  world views.
LANGUAGE BEHAVIORS

  High-context cultures use
  the context to
  communicate in subtle
  ways.

  Low-context cultures use
  direct methods of
  communicating.
LANGUAGE BEHAVIORS


  Gender Roles

  Geographic Area

  Dialects
LANGUAGE BEHAVIORS

  Accommodation

  Code switching and Style
  switching changes your
  regular language and slang
  to fit into a particular
  group.

  You can also change your
  vocal tone, pitch, rhythm
  and inflection.
LANGUAGE BEHAVIORS

  In technology our language
  must be precise.

  English is the language of
  the internet.

  Chat rooms and texting
  also has it’s own language.
