Why study language 01

…a critical awareness of language…arises within the normal ways people reflect on their lives as part of their lives - Norman Fairclough , 1999

Why study language The ability to understand how language functions, to think about it in different ways, is crucial to understanding society and other people To understand power, persuasion and how people live together, a conscious engagement with language is necessary Critical thinking about language helps resist oppression, protect the powerless and build a good society

“ In the lives of individuals and societies, speech is more important than anything else ” - Ferdinand de Saussure

What is a Language A system with variation Accent Dialects/varieties A system Phonemes (sounds) Graphemes (letters) Morphemes (words) Grammar & syntax (phrases and sentences) Stories, essays, casual conversations 01 02 03 The potential to create new meanings Send me an invite. I-friend mo ako .

So why do we study l anguage ?

The rules of language 02 Descriptive vs Prescriptive

People tend to invent all sorts of nouns and verbs and make words that shouldn’t be - (The Times, March 24, 1995 quoting Prince Charles t a BC launch of a program to preserve ‘English, English’)

Example Ginormous (adj) B igger than gigantic and bigger than enrmous W oot (interjection) An exclamation of joy or excitement C hillax (verb) C hill out/relax, hang out with friends

Prescription vs Description Prescriptivists Linguists Strong delineation between what is correct and what is not If language changes, if ‘rules’ are broken, the heart of language will be torn out Changes are an inherent feature of language and very interesting Changes are systematic, consistent with the building codes of that language What do people do with language?

Some Prescriptive Rules Split infinitives “to boldly go” (split) vs “to go boldly” (infinitive together) . Preposition ending “Where are you going to?” (ending with a preposition) vs “To where are you going?” (formal, no preposition at the end of the sentence) Double negative “I don’t have no money” vs “I don’t have any money”

Y o ur Turn In groups of 4, identify 5 instances where language in Kabacan seems to deviate from the prescriptive use of Filipino in the society. Provide an explanation of the deviation from the rules of the Filipino language. Be ready to share your output to the class. Write your output in a 1 whole sheet of paper. Ensure that all members WHO CONTRIBUTED are listed.
