    The document discusses the nature and characteristics of language. It defines language as a system of communication using words structured in a conventional way. Language has several key characteristics - it is based on sounds and grammar, words have meanings defined by people rather than inherently, and language follows systems that can change over time and vary between cultures. It also discusses the arbitrary nature of language and how rules of combination differ between languages.

    Lesson 1: NATURE OF LANGUAGE
     Languages are said to be arbitrary
    because there is no necessary or natural
    relationship between the words of a
    given language and the concepts that
    they represent.

     Also, languages are arbitrary because


    the rules for the combination of signs in
    order to produce complete thoughts are
    different from one language to the
    other, and no set of rules can claim to
    be the "right" one.
    Lesson 1: NATURE OF LANGUAGE

    SYNTHESIS
    1. Language is a human capacity that consists of
    (a) system of rules also known as grammar, (b)
    a sound system also known as phonology, and
    (c) a vocabulary also known as lexicon.

    2. While growing up in a community, people


    acquire the languages used by those in the
    community. This is the process of language
    acquisition.
    Lesson 1: NATURE OF LANGUAGE

    SYNTHESIS
    1. The languages acquired while growing up are
    known as mother tongues, which may also be
    referred to as first languages.

    2. Other than the first languages, there are other


    languages that are needed for various reasons.
    These other languages are referred to as
    second languages.
    Lesson 1: NATURE OF LANGUAGE

    SYNTHESIS
    1. People learn their second languages in school
    or on their own. This is the process of language
    learning.

    2. In our interaction with other people, our


    languages come into contact with their
    languages, resulting in language change.
    Language change is a natural behavior of all
    languages.
