We refer to to the 4 sources of language origin discussed in George Yule's importance book, The Study of Language. I have added something to the Divine Source; Some Quranic verses have been added to it!
Language is the ability to acquire and use complex systems of communication, particularly the human ability to do so, and a language is any specific example of such a system. The scientific study of language is called linguistics. Questions concerning the philosophy of language, such as whether words can represent experience, have been debated since Gorgias and Plato in Ancient Greece. Thinkers such as Rousseau have argued that language originated from emotions while others like Kant have held that it originated from rational and logical thought. 20th-century philosophers such as Wittgenstein argued that philosophy is really the study of language. Major figures in linguistics include Ferdinand de Saussure and Noam Chomsky.

Language and Characteristics of Human LanguageZia ullah
Language:
Communication between people and occasionally between humans and animals is facilitated through language. Another feature of language is that it gives locals a sense of identity and serves as a vehicle for passing down culture from one generation to the next.
Characteristics of Human Language:
The main tool used in human communication is language. As a result, we can beautifully explore the world, maturely express our needs and emotions, and most importantly, everyone can stand up for our own beliefs in front of others. READ MORE...

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. What is Language?
• Language is an abstract system of symbols and
meanings. This system includes the rules
(grammar) that relate symbols and meanings
so that we can communicate with each other.
*symbol - anything that stands for anything
else.
• language and its related processes may be the
most important feature distinguishing humans
from all other animals.
3. • Sound-meaning link. This is really crucial to
our ability to communicate. We are able to
communicate with each other because we've
already reached an agreement. The meaning
of each concept is permanently linked to a
particular word -- it is printed and
pronounced in the same way each time it is
used. Without that agreement we'd have no
language. Without that agreement we'd have
no communication.
4. • In processing language, speakers must share
agreement on sound, rules of organization,
and meaning.
• language and its related processes may be
the most important feature distinguishing
humans from all other animals.
Processing Language
5. "Do you know what time it is?"
"Yes." . .
"Well?..."
"Yes. Yes, I do know what time it is."
"Will you tell me what time it is, then?"
"Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't realize you wanted to
know the time. You just asked me if I knew the
time. It's. . .
6. Speakers of English understand the question "Do you know what
time it is?“ as not to be answered with yes/no, it's a request to
demonstrate specific knowledge.
They involve the primary skills which are combined to allow us to
utilize our spoken language: the understanding of sounds, of syntax
(the rules by which we organize our words into sentences) and of
the meaning we attach to the words we use.
Among these three, syntax and meaning explain why we interpret
"Do you know the time?" correctly. The words "know the
time”ordered as they are (syntax) means (semantics) the speaker is
asking you to inform him/her as to the actual time.
7. Communication
• Communication is the passing of information
from one organism to another using signals.
• Communication involves at least four
elements: transmitter, signal, channel, and
receiver.
8. Process of Communication
There are four important elements in the
process of communication.
• Transmitter, or source
• signal, or message
• Channel – the medium
• receiver
9. Verbal Communication
Verbal communication refers to the use of
sounds and language to relay a message. It
serves as a vehicle for expressing desires,
ideas and concepts and is vital to the
processes of learning and teaching.
TYPES:
• Interpersonal communication
• Intrapersonal communication
10. • Interpersonal communication is the process of
sending and receiving information between
two or more people.
• Intrapersonal communication occurs in the
mind of the individual in a model which
contains a sender, receiver, and feedback loop.
12. • Body Language
• Clothes
• Voice Pitch/ tone
• Eye contact
Remember, we talk to each other to
communicate. At the same time, the way we
say our message and the environment in
which we speak may make aslasting an
impression as the actual words.
14. For beings who do not have their own language,
communication can still exist.
For instance, when in distress, the dolphin emits
two whistles over and over again—one getting
gradually louder, the other getting gradually softer.
It silences any nearby dolphins and causes them to
search for the source. Once found, that dolphin is
pushed to the surface and a complex exchange of
signals occurs.
15. When it comes to communicating with others,
we rely most heavily on our most
sophisticated human skill -- language.
16. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LANGUAGE AND
COMMUNICATION
• Humans communicate with language. Though, language is not the only
means of communication. Whenever communication is thought of we
always associate it with language.
• Language is a vehicle that we use in presenting our ideas, thoughts,
feelings, opinions to the world. It is what we exhibit our cultural norms
and orientations in and the whole essence of our being is captured in
our language. That is why whenever a country, people or race
conquers the first thing that will be affected will be the conquered
people’s language.
17. • Language and communication are different things that
cannot be seperated. Language is surely the most
important tool of communication that individual have
at their disposal. This is because it is language that
permit people to communicate. The purpose of
acquisition of Language as proved by Chomsky is for
communicative purpose. Other means of
Communication have several weaknesses, therefore,
human language is the best means of communication .
18. The role of language in communication
If we believe that our language is what drives our value systems, then we
say that language drives our cultural orientation. Sapir (1921) holds it
that: language is a purely human and non-instinctive method of
communicating ideas, emotions and desire by means of voluntarily
produced symbols. This means that it is only human beings of all the
creatures on the earth surface that uses language. The language that man
uses is not something his biological make bequeath on him he learns this
language in a human community. We are not saying here that other beings
do not communicate but it is man alone that communicates with
language. The nonverbal communication we talked about is predicated on
language.
Language is the vehicle that our thoughts are conveyed in. if our
thoughts are conveyed in language then our culture in conveyed too
through it.
