What is Language? Language is the method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way.

The Creativity Aspect of Language Human language must be creative: allowing novelty and innovation is response to new thoughts, experiences, and situations

Linguistic Knowledge Knowledge of the Sound System: Knowing what sounds are in that language and what sounds are not. Knowledge of Words: Knowing the sound units that are related to specific meanings. Knowledge of Sentences: Knowing how to form sentences.

Linguistic Competence: What you know about a language. Linguistic Performance: How you use this knowledge in actual speech production and comprehension.

Prescriptive Grammar 1762; Bishop Robert Lowth; A Short Introduction to English Grammar with Critical Notes. I don’t have none  You was wrong  Mathilda is fatter than me  I don’t have any You were wrong Mathilda is fatter than I Many of those rules were based on Latin grammar. Latin was assumed as the respected scientific language in the 15th – 17th Centuries.

Descriptive Grammar 1985; Randolph Quirk, Sidney Greenbaum, Geoffrey Leech, and Jan Svartvik; A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language. Based on a corpus of actual spoken and written English.

The Components of a Grammar Phonetics: the articulation and perception of speech sounds. Phonology: the patterning of speech sounds Morphology: word formation Syntax: sentence formation Semantics: the interpretation of words and sentences
