Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Students should make the point that speech is the systematic production of sound, and that it is a factor in verbal communication. Language, on the other hand, is a factor in each of the three components of communication: the sender, the message, and the receiver. Language is the system of symbols used to express and receive meaning.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: (1) Syntax is word orderthe way in which words are organized in sentences. An example of a syntactically compressed sentence is The boy who hit the girl ran away. (2) Semantics is the component of language that governs the meanings of words and word combinations. Semantics allows us to convey abstract concepts. The semantics
of the phrase Black is beautiful conveys meanings beyond the concrete meaning of the words.
(3) Pragmatics involves an awareness of language that is appropriate in different environments and different situations. Language that is appropriate at a ball game may not be appropriate at the dinner table, for example.
