Language reflections

"Language surrounds us every day and we know how to recognise it" (Language A: Course Companion)
  Language is what we use to communicate, to express our ideas, our feelings, emotions, problems or just speak. Language help us to understand each other, and is the only thing we can use to interact. To people is very easy to recognize it because  is the way we can interact whit words and set emotions to tell something. How we know another other sound isn't language? Because other sounds that we hear doesn't tell us anything. But sometimes they do. In school, the ring bell tell us, without words, that break is over. In a football match, the whistle warns to players. But we still can recognize language from another sounds.


"A word is one or more sounds that in combination have a specific meaning assigned by the language" 
(http://anthro.palomar.edu/language/language_2.htm)
  Words are the base of language, they have meanings, that could be accompanied with some other meanings. Words can be very powerful, or very harmful. They can make someone change a decision, they have the power to kill or to safe. If we use the correct words we can change something, save someone, make someone better or even prevent a catastrophe as war.



"The most powerful tool known is the one we use to build every other tool"
 The tool we use is language, and that is because language can be use to write books, to tell a speech. If well used it can achieve greatness, excellent accomplishments, art pieces. Language is used to build every other tools.
