Reflection

During the first week, we started seeing what language is. First of all, we saw 3 definition of language. Below I put the 3 definition and a reflection that I did of those definitions.


"Language surrounds us every day and we know how to recognise it" (Language A: Course Companion)
Language is always with us. Language is in our daily lives, we need it, to communicate, to express something, etc. Language isn´t nonsense sounds, we recognise it, because humans have put sense to those sounds.


"A word is one or more sounds that in combination have a specific meaning assigned by the language"
http://anthro.palomar.edu/language/language_2.htm
Language assigned the meaning of those sounds. Our ancestors define that some sound (word nowadays) will means something. For example, they define, that "Hello" in English, means to greet someone, and know days all people who know english, knows what that word means.



"The most powerful tool known is the one we use to build every other tool"

Language is the powerful tool, that we have, without language everything would have been more difficult. In the past language open the doors to all, it make possible to organize populations, and then to continue advancing in various field like: farming, hunting, then politics, etc.
