LANGUAGE(SOLEHA)

On January 2, 08, we had learnt about language. As we are not an English student and due to time consuming, we cannot learn everything about language but we tried to understand the art of it. Language is symbols. Therefore, it can also represent gesture. Flow and confidence are important for person to be a good communicator. In my opinion, flow refers to the ability to talk continuously without stacking at any points and confidence means the ability to control your nervous while in public speaking.
Besides, we also learnt about the complexity of language. There are three main types of language which are “homonym”, “homophones” and “heteronym”. Homonym is a word that is spelled the same or sounds the same as another but has a different meaning. Homophone is a word that sounds the same as another word but has its own spelling, meaning and origin.

The examples of “homonym”, “homophones” and “heteronym”:
