CONTENTS
Linguists agree that a language can only be called a language if it
has a system of rules (also known as grammar) a sound system
(phonology) and a vocabulary (lexicon).
Language acquisition- people acquire the languages used by
those in the community
First languages or Mother tongues-the languages acquired while
growing up.
Second languages- other languages ( Iloco, Itawes, Ybanag)
Language learning- people learn languages by studying formally
in school or informally on their own.
Language contact-be able to communicate as you slowly learn
each other’s languages

capacity. It is, therefore, important to be

and sharing meaning (Pearson & Nelson, 2000).

sounds that come out of our mouths when
we're speaking, including tone of voice and
things like sighs and groans. Nonverbal

signs and messages that we communicate
using things like body language, gestures,
and facial movements.

Formal communication employs setting and the mode of delivered orally or in
written form. Lectures, public talks/ speeches research and project proposals,
reports, and business letters, among others are all considered formal situations and
writings. To inform, to entertain, and to persuade are the main objectives of this type of
communication.
Informal communication certainly does not employ formal language. It involves
personal and ordinary conversations with friends, family members, or acquaintances
about anything under the sun. The purpose is simply to socialize and enhance
relationships.
