Topic choice: Language defining difficult, language and translation and language has influenced of geography.
Humans use language everyday with the other people. However, have you ever try to define what a real meaning of langue mean? Language is using by human beings of voice sound and often written symbols that represent these sounds to express and communicate thoughts or feelings. There are many functions about the topic language but I my essay today, I strongly emphasize to translation in language, defining language is difficult and language influence of geography. Is it true all the time? Now I will figure out when we go through specifically of each function.
First of all, I can say that defining language difficult. We know how to use language and apply it to our reality but can you defining language as well? In my opinion, I can’t come up with the definition of language. Therefore, defining language is difficult. The reason why is language is the illogical that we have to learn. There is no rule for people to learn language, so nobody in the world can learn language easily. They may have some problems with their language. Most of the cases are happen when people are learning language for a first time of their life. For example, as a student who goes to school to learn their mother language for a first time, they will have some troubles with their writing, speaking even reading. However, language has many meaning for them to use. It depends on how we use it, when we use it. We have many kinds of language: language in literature such as in William Shakespeare, language for communication such as “I’m gonna do it tonight”, language for writing such as “Dear Sir, I write this letter for you…” or slang on the street “What’s up, dude?” . It depends on the different situation and generation, we have different way to use language. However, what happen if we don’t use language correctly or we don’t choose the right way to speak with the other? Lot of problems will come out such as misunderstanding in communication and show disrespectful with a person who is older than us. The good and clear examples that we can use for misunderstanding in communication and disrespectful are the conversation between ex-president George Bush and Condoleezza Rice and we talk a slang with our parents. In the conservation, the leader of China who has a name “Hu” and the Secretary General of the United Nation “Kofi” want to see George Bush but her secretary had a misunderstood. There was an problem in pronunciation that she thought the president ask her “Who is the leader of China?”and told her give the President a cup of coffee. In a conversation with our parents, when we say with our parent “What’s up, mom?”, it could show a disrespectful to our parents because the word “What’s up” is slang and only use for the young generation. This is not suitable for older generation, especially with our parents. . From 2 examples above show us language is difficult in our real life. The person who knows language very well is not sure that he uses in the right time. Now I can confirm that defining language is not easy like most of people thought.
