Language Info

Language: A system of communication. The words we use and how we use them to share and understand ideas, including:

• word order (ex: "Walk I store the to" versus "I walk to the store"),

• word meaning (ex: knowing which kind of "star" someone is talking about: an object in space, or a famous person?),

• word parts (i.e. prefixes, suffixes, base words, root words, etc.), and

• context (ex: speaking differently to friends vs strangers vs authority figures).
