Use Of Symbols
Introduction:
The secret to learn an oral language in to discover which sound patterns which are used to stand for other things.
Since “para” stands for besides, or in addition to, paralanguage may be defined as the vocal characteristics—rate, pitch, loudness, and so on—that accompany sound patterns and help to indicate meaning. Unlike things, feelings and ideas are difficult to exchange. People wishing to exchange physical objects may simply hand them to each other. Feelings and ideas, however, are without physical substance. They cannot be handed directly to another person
Non Verbal Communication:
Sound patterns may also be accompanied by nonverbal symbols. When people speak, they use facial expressions, gestures, and eye contact to make their meanings clear. When a child says “dat” (meaning “give me that”), he or she is likely to look at and point to the object in question. If the child’s request is not answered, an expression on the child’s face will indicate disappointment that “dat” has not been provided.
Visual and Graphic Communication
Nonverbal communication may also involve the use of objects or designs
rather than gestures, facial expressions, or movements.A written language uses printed symbols to stand for sound patterns. In English the 26 letters of the alphabet are the main symbols used to represent sounds. As there are approximately 47 sounds in the English language, however, the letters of the alphabet used alone cannot represent all of the sounds. Consequently, various groupings of letters are used to represent some sounds. For example, the letters t and h are used to represent the first sound in the word “thinking.” Some letters and combinations of letters may stand for more than one sound. In the English language, all of the vowels (a, e, i, o, and u) stand for more than one sound.
