What is language?
Linguistics is one of the languages that can
be theoretical plus applied and it is the technical
or scientific learning of language. Somebody who
connects in this learning is identifying by linguist.
Two Branches of Linguistics and they are following
below:
- Theoretical linguistics Branch
- Applied linguistics Branch
There are, of course, some obvious moves such
as ensuring access to appropriate factual texts
and working with children on these as a part of
close classroom study and also as a part of `wider
reading' programs. But we shall propose here that
a fairly modest level of teacher expertise in
functional grammar can greatly enhance such practical
interventions. Theoretical knowledge of just what
are the grammatical features that characterize
the specialized language of curriculum areas makes
it practically possible for teachers to effectively
integrate the teaching and learning of these grammatical
features and curriculum area concepts.
We will look at just two aspects of the grammar
of written language in curriculum areas, emphasizing
how they are different from the language of everyday
talk. The first of these is the greater density
of information in the written texts of information
books. This density is achieved partly through
the use of longer and more complex noun groups
in the written medium. The second aspect is the
greater abstraction of written language. This
is partly due to the greater use of nouns to express
actions and events, whereas in everyday talk they
are typically expressed by verbs. |
