To write about my first lesson of ELE3103 class, I definitely have to reflect back of what had happened in the last few weeks. Luckily, I don't have to rack my brain so much because my ELE3103 class is quite interesting, so most of the memories are still remain in my mind. heeee
I still remember, when it was the first time Mdm. Ira entered the class, she asked about WHAT IS LANGUAGE? In pair, we came up with different ideas and definitions. Some gave something that sounded very factual, and some gave something that sounded practical.
For my partner and I, who was Ahmad Muslim that time, we just gave something that is close to our heart, as we didn't have dictionary with us. While glancing through my file, surprisingly I found our discussion note about the language.
Our notes...
From the picture, I would like elaborate a little bit about 'language' from our point of view. Muslim and I both agree that language is a medium of communication in everyday life. Language can be classified to verbal and non-verbal. If it is verbal, it is something that is conveyed from speaker to a listener. A part from that, we believed language is a tool for studying knowledge. Language also used to express feelings, thoughts and believes. In the community, we say language symbolizes culture and once nation.
From others' answers, I found that every individual have different opinion about language. However, all the definitions are related to one other. So, to check the exact meaning of 'language' we can just click to these link:
In conclusion, I just want to say that although there are thousands of language all over the world, by still the functions remain the same.
