Let me move to the
relationship between
communication and
language
Before that we
should make a
glance at what a
language is, Shall
We?
SOCIAL MEDIA
COMMUNICATION
Language is an abstract
system of symbols
which carry prescribed
meanings. The symbols
may be sounds or
Graphic on the basis of
the mode of
communication i.e.
spoken or written
To Discuss the
Relationship Between
Communication and
Language We Should
Discuss the Features or
Characteristics of Language
LANGUAGE IS
HUMANE It is the most
important trait or
aspect which
distinguish man
from all other
living beings.
LANGUAGE IS
SYBOLIC
Each language on
the earth has
thousands of
symbols to convey
meanings of almost
all the things which
exist on it.
LANGUAGE IS
MEANINGFUL
It is different from
gestures and body
movements which
are also regarded
means of
communication, as
its symbols carry
specific meanings.
LANGUAGE IS
SYSTEMATIC As each language
keeps some
grammatical rules,
language always
keeps with it a
systematic structure.
LANGUAGE IS
FLEXIBLE Same symbols may
be used for a
different meaning in
a different context by
making structural
changes
As We Know, the
Relationship Between
Communication and
Language is that Language
one of the Media of
Communication
If We Just Make Such
a Statement, It Will
Definitely be Injustice
Because
The Earlier Mentioned
Features of Language
Make It the Most
Significant or Important or
Special Medium of
Communication
How?
LANGUAGE HELPS IN
THINKING &
CONCEPTUALISING
Man is different from other
animals with his reasoning
and thinking power. His
thoughts molded,
developed, and ultimately
transferred into concepts
and conveyed to others. All
these aspects are possible
only by using language
LANGUAGE MAKES
COMMUNICATION MORE
MEANINGFUL
Gestures and body
movements have many a
limitation and
communication with them
often becomes vague.
Language offers more clear
and meaningful
communication with
systematically arranged
words and sentences
LANGUAGE
FACILITATES
AESTHETIC ASPECTS Aesthetic sense is a
precious gift, inbuilt
in man. One cannot
even imagine
aesthetic enjoyment
without language.
LANGUAGE
FACILITATES
CULTURAL EXCHANGE Language is an
inevitable part of
one’s culture. When
one uses a particular
language, he actually
conveys his culture
LANGUAGE
FACILITATES WRITTEN
COMMUNICATION Language Exclusively
Helps Man to Write
Books, Journals,
Magazines etc. which are
Considered Useful Tools
in Communicating
Information, Knowledge,
Literature etc.
