Q

Seven Language Characteristic Features (Diaz, 2014)

A
  1. Language is systematic. This means that
    language is a highly organized system of sounds,
    words, and sentences; each unit plays an
    important part.
  2. Language is arbitrary. This means the
    relationship between its meaning and the
    symbols employed is a matter of convention.
  3. Language is rule-governed. This means that
    language has rules or patterns that occur
    frequently.
  4. Language has a dual structure. This means that
    language is a system of two subsystems: sound
    and meaning.
  5. Language is generative. This refers to the
    speaker’s ability to understand and produce many
    utterances in the native tongue by relativization.
  6. Language is socially learned behavior. This
    means that language is culturally transmitted.
  7. Language is an interactive social tool. This
    means that language is a shared code that enables
    users to transmit feelings, ideas, and desires to
    one another

Q

Relationship of Communication, Speech, and Language

A

Communication
* is the broad term for the two-way dynamic
process of message transmission. It embraces
both the verbal and the non-verbal aspects. The
verbal includes the modes of reading, writing,
speaking, and listening, while the non-verbal
comprises the extralinguistic elements such as
paralinguistics, metalinguistics, and
nonlinguistic

Speech and Language
* are only a portion of the larger process
of communication. Language is the
medium or vehicle through which
messages are sent and received, while
speech is one of its modes. More
specifically, speech is the process of
shaping the sound of the voice and the
energy of the breath through the speech
organs into words

  7. Every person should develop a concern for
    truthful and responsible speech.
  8. Being articulate is essential to inner harmony,
    emotional maturity, and mental balance.

Q

Characteristics of Effective Communication

A

Clear
* The primary character of any spoken or written
transmission of information should be to state the message clearly

Concise
* Time is an essential parameter in
communications. The normal attention span is
just a few minutes long. Lengthy communication is boring and avoided by most.

Concrete
* Whatever message, information, or data in
your communique should be wee-footed. Your
arguments should have data that suitably backs
them up. A tangible argument is always easy to
understand

Coherent
* The key to a coherent write-up is a wellplanned, logical, and sequential presentation.
The main ideas should be differentiable and
follow each other in a way derivative of some
rules

Courteous
* Business communication has some degree of
formal flavor. The presenter should try his
best to be honest, respectful, considerate,
open, and polite to the information receiver.
The message will definitely find an audience
when supplemented with proper care and kindness

Good listener
* A good listener will have some qualities. He
would be emotionally intelligent, mature,
objective, and practical. His understanding of
the message should not be influenced by his
judgment of the topic or the presenter. A
good listener should be able to filter through
all of these limitations and reach the message
the presenter is relaying before them.
