Essay Writing: What is the Language?
|
Hi, everyone
I �m going to write an essay for my Linguistic course at the university which topic about what the language is. Therefore, can anyone here give me some idea how to start and what to write about the language? or suggest me some resources or website links related to that topic. Thank in advance and I �m looking forward to seeing your response.

Hi,
I can �t help you much, but I think your topic is "language", rather than "the language". In English, if you say "the language", you are referring to a specific language, such as English or Cambodian.
I hope you have a great essay,

Hello,
try and find Edward Sepir �s works, he worked on this theme.� Besides, I remember having read a book - it seems to me it was Thinking and speech. L. Vygotsky - �Vygotsky explores if the way animals communicate can be defined as language.
Hope it helps.Hugs. Helen. |

And no paper on language is complete without a reference to de Saussure �s Course in General Linguistics. |
