Search Results - Language

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

A language is a dynamic set of visual, auditory, or tactile symbols of communication and the elements used to manipulate them. Language can also refer to the use of such systems as a general phenomenon. Strictly speaking, language is considered to be an exclusively human mode of communication. Although other animals make use of quite sophisticated communicative systems, sometimes casually referred to as animal language, none of these are known to make use of all of the properties that linguists use to define language.

In Western Philosophy, language has long been closely associated with reason, which is also a uniquely human way of using symbols. In Ancient Greek philosophical terminology, the same word, logos, was used as a term for both language or speech and reason, and the philosopher Thomas Hobbes used the English word "speech" so that it similarly could refer to reason, as will be discussed below. More commonly though, the English word "language", derived ultimately from lingua, Latin for tongue, typically refers only to expressions of reason which can be understood by other people, most obviously by speaking.

A set of commonly accepted symbols is only one feature of language; all languages must define the structural relationships between these symbols in a system of grammar. Rules of grammar are one of the characteristics sometimes said to distinguish language from other forms of communication. They allow a finite set of symbols to be manipulated to create a potentially infinite number of grammatical utterances.

Another property of language is that its symbols are arbitrary. Any concept or grammatical rule can be mapped onto a symbol. In other words, most languages make use of sound, but the combinations of sounds used do not have any necessary and inherent meaning – they are merely an agreed-upon convention to represent a certain thing by users of that language. For instance, there is nothing about the Spanish word nada itself that forces Spanish speakers to convey the idea of "nothing". Another set of sounds (for example, the English word nothing) could equally be used to represent the same concept, but all Spanish speakers have acquired or learned to correlate this meaning for this particular sound pattern. For Slovenian, Croatian, Serbian or Bosnian speakers on the other hand, nada means something else; it means "hope".

1. Can you Actually Learn Spanish in High School?
November 20, 2008

In high school, you are required to take a second language. Most students take Spanish either because it is the only one offered, it looks easy, it's what everyone else takes, or whatever other reason. The question is, can you really learn Spanish while in high school? If you took Spanish in high school years ago or know someone who has, it would probably be a big surprise if either of you knew much more than a few greetings, let alone could carry on a conversation. It's the sad truth that most people who took Spanish or another language, even if they took it all four years, can't spea... (read more)

2. The International Internet Marketing Scene from My Experience
November 18, 2008

I was recently doing a world wide internet marketing campaign for a client who wanted to invest different amounts depending on continents. It was a great exercise for me to flex my international arm again, and boy was I in for a surprise. Last time I was truly doing an international website, with multi-language capability back in 2006 at the height of the mortgage bubble. The market was fairly competitive, but I thought all markets were at the time. Now two years later, I’m finding out it was only the real estate and mortgage industry that had been saturated. There is a lack of compe... (read more)

I saw a baby turtle in the road.” “Really, I wonder how big it was.” “Very small, only this big (indicates the size of a half dollar with hands).” “Wow, I’ll bet he was scared being in the middle of the road.

4. How Singing Sales Letter can make?
November 18, 2008

An effective sales letter is much more than a bunch of words describing what you have for sale, but judging by some of the sales messages on far too many websites, not a lot of people know that. The ‘buy one get one free’ mentality is still alive and kicking and working overtime all over the Internet, but sadly at the expense of the English language. A sales letter, whether written for an online product or service promotion or for print and mail, has a specific job to do. It has to sell. It’s your salesman. And it doesn’t matter how good or how bad your product or service is, the sales lette... (read more)

7. Professional Translation and Localization: Reaching Your Global Audience
November 17, 2008

Professional Translation is a difficult skill and one that requires the understanding and fluency in more than one language. However, Website localization and software localization require an even deeper skill, one that comes from the culture. Marketing professionals realize that a branding campaign or message to sell that may work in the United States won’t necessarily work as a global message. This is for the simple reason that every culture is different. While one message may really speak to a certain group, it will undoubtedly never speak to everyone. This is why it is essential to de...
