This document discusses various aspects of human and non-human communication. It describes four categories of non-human communication including visual, auditory, chemical and tactile communication. It then outlines 13 key features of human language according to Charles Hockett including vocal transmission, interchangeability, productivity and duality of patterning. Finally, it examines different theories on the functions of language from researchers such as Roman Jakobson, Michael Halliday and Geoffrey Leech, covering referential, phatic, poetic and other functions.
Communication is an exchange of ideas or feelings between two or more people using words, verbal cues, nonverbal gestures, and symbols. The communication process involves a sender transmitting a message to a receiver, who then provides feedback. Effective communication requires the message to be clearly understood by the receiver. Breakdowns can occur due to cultural differences, inconsistencies between verbal and nonverbal cues, or lack of feedback from the receiver. The lesson teaches the definition of communication, the communication process, and potential causes of communication breakdowns.
This document provides an overview of semiotic analysis and key semiotic concepts. It begins by defining semiotics as the study of signs and sign systems. Some key points made include:
- Semiotics examines how meaning is constructed through signs such as words, images, sounds, gestures and objects.
- Ferdinand de Saussure distinguished between the signifier (form of the sign) and the signified (concept represented).
- Charles Sanders Peirce developed a triadic model of the sign consisting of the representamen (sign vehicle), object (referent), and interpretant (sense made of the sign).
- Signs can function as icons, indexes or symbols depending on their relationship to what they
Semiotics is the study of signs and meaning-making. It examines how signs like words and images produce meaning, especially in cultural artifacts and communication. There are two main approaches: Saussure analyzed language as a system of signs composed of a signifier and signified. Peirce defined the sign as having a representamen, object, and interpretant, and classified signs as icons, indices, or symbols based on their relationship to their object. Semiotics provides tools to reveal hidden meanings in cultural texts and communication.
This document provides an overview of literature and its study. It defines literature as creative works that express human thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The document outlines several learning outcomes related to understanding and appreciating literature.

Finally, the document identifies several key features of literature such as it being a form of communication, an art, dealing with noble thoughts, having timelessness and universality, and being useful.
The document discusses functions of communication. It describes several functions including regulation/control, social interaction, motivation, information, emotional expression, and expressing opinions. It provides examples of each function and notes that communication serves different purposes. The document also discusses verbal and non-verbal cues speakers can use including pauses, loudness, rhythm, repetition, tone, language, gestures, eye contact, posture, facial expressions, and proxemics. It provides activities for students to identify communication functions in video clips and evaluate speakers.
This document provides an overview of elements of fiction such as character, plot, setting, point of view, theme, and tone. It discusses different types of characters (round, flat), points of view (first, second, third person), types of plots (progressive, episodic), how setting can impact a story, the use of conflict and irony. It also covers literary devices like foreshadowing, symbolism, and motif. The document is intended to help students better understand and analyze stories by making them aware of these common elements.

This short document provides advice for writing stories, suggesting that writers should be unobtrusive if possible, ensure their stories ring true by being factually accurate, and check facts to verify accuracy while also being creative in their writing.
The document discusses different types of signs and their meanings. It explains that signs can be symbolic, where the connection between the signifier and signified is arbitrary and based on social agreement rather than a direct link. Symbolic signs like words and other cultural symbols derive their meaning from shared understanding, but can also be open to different interpretations and misunderstanding. Examples given are that a suit and tie symbolize business attire while dark clothing and makeup symbolize Goth culture.
New media refers to digital media that are interactive and allow for two-way communication between users and producers. This includes websites, email, blogs, social networking, and virtual reality environments. New media is characterized as being digital, interactive, hypertextual, networked, virtual, and able to be simulated. It has transformed traditional media forms and allowed users to participate in media production and distribution in new ways.
This document discusses and compares verbal and non-verbal communication. Verbal communication involves the use of spoken or written words to transfer information, while non-verbal communication conveys messages without words through gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, tone of voice, and other means. Both types of communication have advantages and disadvantages. Verbal communication allows for personal interaction but words can be forgotten, while non-verbal communication helps communicate emotions and overcome language barriers but cannot be used for public communication.
Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols used in communication. It examines how signs gain meaning through their relationships between the signifier (image or sound) and signified (concept). Famous theorists like Saussure, Barthes, Hall, and Pierce contributed to semiotics. Saussure distinguished between the signifier and signified and how signs are interpreted personally. Barthes explored how signs represent culture through denotation and connotation. Hall argued meanings are decoded polysemically based on experience. Pierce categorized signs as icons, indexes, or symbols based on their relationships to what they signify.
This document discusses the role of media in society. It begins by defining media and providing a brief history of media's development. It notes that the first newspaper was published in 1690 in Boston. In Pakistan, the first news agency was established in 1947 and radio stations were set up in major cities. The document outlines several key roles and impacts of media, including political and economic analysis, social awareness, education, and entertainment. It also discusses both advantages such as advertising and raising standards, and disadvantages such as time wastage, weakening religious values, and not developing a national image. Finally, it provides some suggestions around media accountability and strengthening socio-cultural foundations.

2. The key elements of communication are defined, including sender, message, channel, receiver, feedback.
3. Communication is the sharing of messages or information between a sender and receiver. It involves encoding and decoding messages through a channel.
This document provides an overview of semiotics, the study of signs. It discusses the definitions and models of signs put forth by Ferdinand de Saussure and Charles Sanders Peirce. Saussure defined the sign as being composed of the signifier and signified, the form and concept. Peirce defined the sign using representamen, object, and interpretant, referring to the form, what it represents, and the idea it produces. The document also notes some key applications and importance of semiotics in understanding how meaning is constructed and interpreted across different contexts.
The document discusses the concepts of signifier and signified. The signifier is the physical form of a sign, such as a printed word, sound, or image. The signified is the meaning or concept associated with the signifier. While signifiers can be shared, the signified can vary between individuals and contexts. A signifier only has meaning through its relationship to the signified concept or idea it represents.

1. Communication involves transferring information from a sender to a receiver through various verbal and nonverbal means.
2. Human language is distinct from animal communication in that it is compositional, referential, and productive, allowing humans to generate an infinite number of sentences to exchange specific information.
3. While some animal communication systems have limited properties of language like displacement seen in bee dances, human language is uniquely characterized by its reflexivity, arbitrariness, cultural transmission, and duality at the physical sound level and meaningful unit level.
This document discusses key concepts in linguistics, including definitions of language, linguistic knowledge, creativity in language, grammar, language acquisition, sign languages, animal communication systems, attempts to teach language to primates, theories of language origin, and the relationship between language and thought. It provides examples of linguistic universals and differences between languages in areas like sound systems, words, and expressions of location.
This document discusses the nature of language and sociolinguistics. It begins by defining sociolinguistics as the study of the relationship between language and society. It notes that language and society are deeply interconnected. The document then discusses several key aspects of language, including its symbolic and systematic nature.

Finally, it lists 10 characteristics of human language, such as its arbitrary, social, symbolic, and creative nature.
1. The document discusses the study of meaning, including how children acquire language and the knowledge speakers have about their language.
2. It examines meaning from the perspectives of psychology, philosophy, and linguistics. Key aspects of language include it being a systematic, conventional symbolic system that is learned and constantly evolving.
3. A speaker's semantic knowledge involves having a vocabulary and understanding how to pronounce and combine words to communicate meanings to others.
The document discusses the different aspects of communicative competence, including grammatical competence, discourse competence, sociolinguistic competence, and strategic competence. It then discusses seven different language functions: instrumental, regulatory, representational, interactional, personal, heuristic, and imaginative. Finally, it discusses various topics related to developing communicative competence such as functional syllabuses, discourse analysis, pragmatics, language and gender, styles and registers, and nonverbal communication.
Language & Mind Fredinand de Saussure.pptIdonKnow5
This document discusses several theories about language and the mind from thinkers like Saussure, Bloomfield, Sapir, and Whorf. It outlines Saussure's idea of language as a structured system of signs learned through social convention. It also discusses linguistic determinism and the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which suggest language influences thought by determining how speakers understand reality. Finally, it covers Chomsky's innateness hypothesis that humans possess an innate, specialized language faculty.
This document discusses theories of language and mind from several influential linguists. It outlines Ferdinand de Saussure's view that language structures thought and our perception of reality is determined by the language we speak. It also discusses Leonard Bloomfield's behaviorist approach and Benjamin Whorf's theory of linguistic determinism stemming from his study of the Hopi language with Edward Sapir. Finally, it presents Noam Chomsky's hypothesis that language is innate, arguing children could not learn language with just general intelligence due to the speed and order of acquisition across all human languages.
The document provides an overview of key concepts related to language and communication. It defines language as a system with grammar, phonology, and lexicon that allows a community to communicate. Communication is defined as a two-way process of exchanging information through symbols between individuals. The key elements of communication are the sender, message, receiver, feedback, context, and barriers like noise. Communication can occur through verbal means using words or nonverbally through signs and symbols. Effective listening skills are also important for communication.
This document discusses language as communication and the factors that define a communicative situation. It covers spoken and written language, noting that spoken language is more spontaneous while written language allows more time for planning. The document also discusses the elements of communication, including the sender, receiver, message, context and feedback. It analyzes the functions of language and the role of context and nonverbal communication in interactions.
The document discusses key concepts about language including definitions, the nature and attributes of language, and strategies for effective oral language. It defines language as a system of symbols used to convey thought from one person to another. It also discusses that language is dynamic, words have multiple meanings, and meanings exist in people's minds rather than in words themselves. Language is influenced by culture and time. Effective oral language should be clear, direct, appropriate for the audience and occasion, and vivid through the use of imagery.
Linguistics is the scientific study of language. It has two main purposes: to study the nature and rules of language, and to understand how language is organized and functions in human life. The document discusses key topics in linguistics including the main branches of linguistics, which are divided into microlinguistics focusing on language itself, and macrolinguistics examining language in relation to other areas. It also distinguishes between descriptive linguistics, which analyzes actual language use, and prescriptive linguistics, which prescribes rules for "correct" language behavior.
Language and communication are fundamental aspects of human interaction that allow the exchange of thoughts, ideas, emotions, and information. Language consists of spoken, written, or gestural forms to convey meaning, while communication encompasses the exchange of messages between individuals or groups through both verbal and nonverbal cues. Effective communication requires not only transmitting messages but ensuring they are accurately understood by recipients, though various factors can influence communication interactions. Language has specific characteristics that make it a unique human trait, including being a social phenomenon with conventional rules and the ability to be creative, complex, and constantly evolving to meet changing needs.
This document discusses different aspects of communicative competence. It defines grammatical competence as knowledge of rules of morphology, syntax, and semantics. Discourse competence is the ability to connect sentences into coherent discourse. Sociolinguistic competence requires understanding of social context for language use. Strategic competence refers to strategies for compensating for communication breakdowns. It also outlines different language functions, such as instrumental, regulatory, representational, and others. Functional syllabuses focus on tasks like introductions or asking for information. Discourse analysis examines the relationship between language forms and functions. Pragmatics considers the effect of context on language. Nonverbal communication conveys important cultural messages through kinesics, proxemics, artifacts, touch
This document discusses the properties and characteristics of human language according to two classifications. Francis P. Dinneen identified 9 properties: sound, linear, systematic, meaningful, arbitrary, conventional, creative, unique, and similar to other languages. George Yule identified 6 properties: displacement, arbitrariness, productivity, cultural transmission, discreteness, and duality. It also provides more details on each of Yule's properties, describing how displacement refers to references to past/future/other locations, arbitrariness means there is no natural connection between form and meaning, and productivity means the potential number of utterances is infinite.
Verbal communication plays an important role in exchanging ideas through language and culture. However, there are several potential obstacles in cross-cultural verbal communication, including cultural barriers where people think differently based on their culture, encoding and decoding issues in translating thoughts to language, and one-way communication without feedback. Some strategies to overcome these obstacles include speaking slowly and clearly, frequently checking for understanding, avoiding idioms and jargon, and being patient and specific.
The document discusses the concept of language and its functions. It defines language and examines its key characteristics such as being social, symbolic, systematic, vocal, conventional, productive, and a means of communication. The document also explores several important functions of language, including communication, transmission of culture, thought, diffusion of knowledge, political cohesion, cultural identity, and facilitating human cooperation and society.
This document discusses concepts related to communication and language in learning. It covers Vygotsky's theory of semiotic mediation and internalization, where social interactions become internalized. Effective classroom communication involves assuming positive intent, maintaining a positive attitude, and using "I statements". Language has characteristics like being systematic, arbitrary, and social. It also serves functions like being instrumental, regulatory, and interactional.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
2. LANGUAGE AND HUMAN
• NON- HUMAN COMMUNICATION
• FEATURES OF HUMAN LANGUAGE
• LANGUAGE FUNCTION
3. NON-HUMAN COMMUNICATION
Non human communication is the way anything non-human communicates without the use of
words. (Cabrera, 2013)
Non-human communication is not symbolic so it cannot preserve ideas of the past.
Animal language is not culturally transmitted.
Animal language is innate, immutable and involuntary.
4. • Non-human communication use a variety of techniques that can be
classified into four main categories:
Visual Communication
Auditory Communication
Chemical Communication
Tactile Communication
5. VISUAL COMMUNICATION
• Using their senses of sight, they are able to convey their messages to one
another in two forms:
1. BADGES – refers to the physical appearance of an animal that hold certain
meaning for their kind.
2. DISPLAY – are the animals behaviors.
6. AUDITORY COMMUNICATION
• It involves the use of hearing, on which animals produces sounds tat convey
different meanings. The hissing, barking, purring and growling are some of the
examples of auditory communication. The sounds that they produce maybe use to
ward off threats, attract mates or express feelings of pain or happiness.
7. CHEMICAL COMMUNICATION
• Some animals also use pheromones or chemical marking to attract mate, ward off
threats and mark their territories. Hey do that by releasing or leaving their own
signature scent.
8. TACTILE COMMUNICATION
• They use the sense of touch to convey messages. They use this form of
communication to show comfort, fear, affection and power.
10. • According to Charles Hockett, there are 13 design features of human language.
• From a 1966 article; The design features listed below are found in every language
on which we have reliable information and each seems to be lacking in at least
one known animal communicative system.
11. 1. VOCAL-AUDITORY CHANNEL
• Sound emitted from mouth and perceived by the auditory system. A speaker
produces language by making sounds with the mouth and listener perceives that
language by hearing it with the ears.
12. 2. BROADCAST TRANSMISSION
AND DIRECTIONAL RECEPTION
• Human language signal is sent is sent out in all directions, while it is perceived in
a limited direction. In other words, the sounds perpetuate as wave forms that
expand from the mouth in all directions and the listener hears those sounds
coming from particular area.
13. 3. THE RAPID FADING OF THE
SOUND WAVE
• Human language signal does not persist over time, speech waveforms fade
rapidly and cannot be heard or retrieved after they fade.
14. 4. INTERCHANGEABILITY
• The speaker can both receive and broadcast the same signal. Put differently, the
speaker can be a listener and speaker in a turn taking situation.
15. 5. TOTAL FEEDBACK
• The sender of a message also perceives the message, that is you hear what you
say. The speaker can hear themselves while producing the speech and thus can
monitor their language performance as they proceed.
17. 7. SEMANTICITY
• There is a fixed relationship between a signal and a meaning. This means that
specific signal can be matched with specific meanings. That is a fundamental
aspect of all communication system.
18. 8. ARBITRARINIES
• There is no relationship between a signal and it’s meaning. That is, the signal is
related to the meaning by convention but has no inherent relationship with the
meaning.
20. 10. DISPLACEMENT
• We use language to talk about the things or events that are distant in time and
space.
21. 11. PRODUCTIVITY
• Language allows speaker to novel sentences never heard before. We can
produce potentially an infinite number of different messages by combining the
elements differently.
22. 12. TRADITIONAL
TRANSMISSION
• Language is passed on from one generation to the other through a process of
teaching and learning. Although Linguist claim that the underlying capacity for
language in humans is genetic.
23. 13. DUALITY OF PATTERNING
• Large numbers of meaningful signals produced from a small number of
meaningless units.
• Property of human language that enables combination structure on two distinct
levels.
• Meaningless sounds can be combined into meaningful morpheme and words,
which themselves could be combined further.
28. ROMAN JAKOBSON
• Roman Jakobson is a Russian-American linguist. He was pioneer in his field of structural
linguist. He was a very influential linguist. He defined six function od language. These are:
Phatic Function
Poetic Function
Metalingual Function
Emotive Function
Conative Function
Referential Function
29. PHATIC FUNCTION
• The Phatic function is used to establish a social connection without really
communicating any meaningful information. This type of language is used to start
or to stop a conversation or to check the connection between the sender and
receiver.
30. POETIC FUNCTION
• This one is also known as the aesthetic function of language. This function
focuses on the message as well as the way the message is communicating. This
means that the message might be embellished with rhetorical figures of the
speech or “flowery” language.
31. METALINGUAL FUNCTION
• Meta is basically defined as self-awareness. So metalingual refers to talking about
the language itself, its features, word definition, clarifying ambiguity and
describing deliberate word play are metalingual function.
32. EMOTIVE FUNCTION
• Relates to the Addresser (sender) and is best exemplified by interjection and other
sound changes that do not alter the denotative meaning of an utterance but do
add information about the addresser’s (speaker) internal state.
33. CONATIVE FUNCTION
• This function focuses on the receiver of the message. The language used with
this function is meant to get the attention of or a reaction from the addresser.
34. REFERENTIAL FUNCTION
• Is oriented toward the context of the communication. This functions aims to send
information or to tell others about the speaker’s idea.
35. HALLIDAY’S FUNCTIONS OF
LANGUAGE
• Michael Alexander Halliday is an English linguist. He developed the systematic functional
linguistics (SFL).
• Language is always resource of making meaning and even the infant who cannot talk is
developing language, and thereby, learning how to mean. The child uses protolanguage
(alternately referred to as proto conversation and proto semiosis) in order to express
meaning even before he has word in his communication repertoire.
• The first four function allow the child to meet physical, emotional, and social need. They
are instrumental, regulatory, interactional, and personal. The next three function help a
child to come to terms with his/her environment, the heuristic, imaginative and
representational.
36. INSTRUMENTAL
• Is used to achieve a certain result. It accomplishes something either for the
speaker or someone else and this function help us understand its purpose.
37. REGULATORY
• When speaker commands, persuade or request something from someone else,
this is known as regulatory language function. Regulatory language controls the
listener behaviors the speaker adapt a commanding tone.
38. INTERACTIVE
• Is how we form relationships with others as it encompasses the communicative
use of language. It is how we rely our thoughts and emotions, strengthening
bonds with those around us.
39. PERSONAL
• This function defines how we refer to ourselves and express our personal
opinions, our identity, and our feelings. A child may communicate their opinion and
emotions in a simplistic way using phrases.
40. Heuristic
• This term refers to language associated with discovery and explanation, usually in
the form of questions or a running commentary ( when the child talks about what
they are doing as they are doing it).
41. Informative
• To inform or provide a piece of information. This part aims to give an audience
new knowledge or facts that they did not previously posses on a subject matter. It
aims to achieve clarity and conciseness to communicate the material being
presented more efficiently while engaging the audience attention and interest.
42. IMAGINATIVE
• When children tell stories and create imaginary friends or concept in their heads, it
is an imaginative way of using language. Imaginative language usually occurs in
leisure, play scenarios or jokes.
43. GEOFFERY LEECH
• A specialist in English language linguistics. He has published over 30 books and
120 different papers on semantics, stylistics, pragmatics, grammar, and other
directions. He played an important role in the development of English and in the
overall understanding of language and its functions.
44. INFORMATIVE FUNCTION
• It involves information of giving and receiving. The general assumption is that the
content is believable and valuable.
45. EXPRESSIVE FUNCTION
• Language express and evokes ideas, thoughts and feelings. Expressive language
may or may not include any real information because the purpose of expressive
use of language is to convey emotion.
46. AESTHETIC FUNCTION
• The use of language for the sake of the linguist artifact itself, and for no purpose.
This aesthetic function can have at least as much to do with conceptual as with
affective meaning. They don’t convey messages or requests but serve as a tool or
poetic art.
47. DIRECTIVE FUNCTION
• Language is used a directive whereby we aim to influence the behavior or
attitudes of others. The most straightforward instances of directive functions are
commands and request.
48. PHATIC FUNCTION
• The function of keeping communication lines open, and keeping social
relationship in good repair. This language function correlates with the channel of
communication.
