The current Island Prize family tree. It's growing ...

Glass Tower: 'a powerful, beautiful story'
Sand Roses: 'an extraordinarily immersive narrative'
A Mouth Full of Salt: 'Insightful, elegant and compelling'

“Your understanding of the components of language determines to a large extent how you teach a language.” —H. Douglas Brown, Principles of Language Learning and Teaching

The table outlines 8 parts of a composite definition of language and an interesting thought exercise accompanies—
—Select only one of the eight parts of the definition of language to place your emphasis on and imagine how this emphasis influences your engagement with language as a concept.

#SaturdayReading #AppliedLinguistics

Table 1.1 Language definition and related subfields of research and inquiry 

Language… 

1) …is systematic 
——phonetics; phonology; morphology; syntax; discourse analysis; lexical analysis 

2) …uses arbitrary symbols
——semiotics; semantics; philosophy & history of language; psycholinguistics

3) …uses symbols that are primarily vocal but may also be visual 
——phonetics; phonology; writing systems; orthography; nonverbal communication 

4) …uses symbols that have conventionalized meanings
——semantics; pragmatics; sociolinguistics; psycholinguistics; cognitive linguistics 

5) …is used for communication 
——sentence processing; pragmatics; discourse analysis; conversation analysis

6) …operates in a speech community 
——sociolinguistics; sociocultural analysis; or culture pragmatics; dialectology; bilingualism 

7) …is essentially human, but not limited to humans 
——innateness; genetics; neurolinguistics; animal communication 

8) …has universal characteristics 
——Universal Grammar; innateness; emergentism; neurolinguistics; cross-culture analysis
