The essence of language

The question of "what is language" has been discussed and debated in linguistics, psychology, philosophy, sociology and other disciplines, and relevant experts have also made different explanations. At present, there are three mainstream views on the nature of language: language is a symbol system combining sound and meaning; Language is the most important communication and thinking tool for human beings. Language is an information transmission system.

Language is a unique tool to express meaning and exchange ideas, and it is a special social phenomenon, which consists of language, vocabulary and grammar. The so-called symbols can be signs, marks or signals. Language represents a certain meaning, which is determined in a conventional way. When social members in a certain area often use certain sounds or words to express something in the long-term life process,

The meaning of this sound or word is determined. The symbol system of language consists of vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. Vocabulary is the main material of language. The more words you master, the richer and smoother your expression and the higher your language level. Grammar pays attention to the rules of using words to make sentences, which can make the language organized and meaningful; Phonetics is the sound of language. Only by expressing what you want to say through voice can you convey information.

It is precisely because vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation are established that human language cannot be spontaneously produced and can only be mastered through acquired learning. If a child has never been told or heard of the word "person", then he will not know that his father, mother, teacher, companion and even himself are "people" every day. Every child's initial language learning is inseparable from the daily life environment full of language communication.

Adults also need to take pains to teach, such as telling him "what is this" and "what is that". Otherwise, if children only rely on natural maturity, they still can't speak words that others can understand, let alone acquire a language that can communicate with others normally. The story of "Wolf Child" in India has already illustrated this point.

If a child is deprived of the opportunity to communicate with others at an early age and left in an environment without language stimulation, even if his hearing and pronunciation organs are normal, he can't learn the language to communicate with others. An important reason for this situation is that children lack a normal language communication environment and are not stimulated by pronunciation and vocabulary.
