Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFStatement I: Communicative language is used by people to get sympathy, ignore fellow travellers, placate or embarras enemies and comfort friends.
Explanation:
- Language is essentially a means of communication among the members of a society.
- Language used by people to converse about personal experiences with partners, and instructors teach topics outside of the realm of traditional grammar to promote language skills in all types of situations.
- A common language is one of the most important features of a community and the ceaseless use of the same language is the most certain proof of the historical continuity of a community of people.
- It is used by people to get sympathy, ignore fellow travellers, placate or embarras enemies and comfort friends.
Hence we can say that Statement I is true
Statement II: As a tool of communication, language suffers from emotional loadings, polar words and fictitious concepts.
Explanation:
- The need to communicate triggers both the occurrence and the development of a language and this need arises and becomes stronger and stronger when one has someone else to communicate with, i.e. where there is a society.
- In terms of linguistics, the study of language is a multidisciplinary endeavour.
- Communication takes place not only orally, but also in writing.
- Language employs a combination of words to communicate ideas in a meaningful way .
- By changing the order of words in a sentence, the meaning can also be changed, or even made meaningless.
- People use language to give meaning to their experiences.
- Since language is not exact, many a time it leads to misunderstanding.
- It is this plurality of aspects in studying the same object that makes language a perpetual phenomenon.
- As a tool of communication, language suffers from emotional loadings, polar words, and fictitious concepts.
Hence we can say that Statement II is true
Therefore we can say that Both Statement I and Statement II are true
