WHAT IS A LANGUAGE?

I can say that language is a system of different element such as symbols or visuals that are used to communicate. This kind of method is always refered to humans, but other animals also use a kind of language to niteract with each other.

We all learn language, but there is something deeply mysterious about language even though we can learn to use it. All of language is "something" standing for "something else". A same word has a different meaning for each person, so one word may have different neanings depending on the culture of that person.

To summarize, I can say that language is more than just communication, it is the primary method people use to communicate together. There are four different stages in language:

  • Communication: It's a one-way communication in order to send a message.
  • Conversation: It's a two-way communication where both sides fell they understood.
  • Collaboration: it implies thinking, planning and making decisions.
  • Co-creation: It¡s a joint activity in order to make and do.
