William Zinsser wrote about how people use too many words and use over complicated words to sound smart. This is a common problem with many writings is that people will use extra words or fancy sounding words for a number of reasons. A student may add lots of extra words when trying to make a certain page amount or word count on an essay. Someone trying to sound smart, like a doctor or a professor, will add words people don’t use much in today's society that will give them the perception that…

what kind of impact language can have in your relationship with others? Language can have a large impact in the relationship status. It decides what type of relationship you really have with someone. When we first hear the word “language” we think of as a communication tool or the way we talk to others, verbally. However, it the half-true. The best way to tell what kind of relationship the two people have is the way they talk to each other along with their gestures or body languages. That’s…

includes writers. Just because a piece of literature is written in another language, and from a land unlike our own, doesn’t mean its message won’t get through to readers of a different dialect. In order for others to understand the idea in that text, a translator must remove the barrier of language and localize the ideas for the common man. The History of Love, a novel predominantly written in English, contains many other languages and ideas that are typically never translated, leaving that…

Examples of metaphor: "they come in a slow march, a band of three" Shaw is comparing the turkeys to a band, he is trying to set the scene, telling the reader/listener that the wild turkeys are together as they come in a "slow march".

From reading this section on speech events, I realized that they are many opening sequences and closing sequences that I never thought that makes language unique. A long time ago, I watch Diary of the Wimpy Kid the movie. It was the scene when Greg and Rowley hid under the bleachers from playing dodge ball. When Greg said that it was barbaric that they would face the other team in dodge…

In the argument, the breakdown is caused by the semantic noise caused by the word “busy” and physiological noise and the breakdown could have been avoided if the wife mindfully recognized the semantic noise and responded more appropriately. As the wife’s paralanguage in the discussion with her husband about the trash continues, the paralanguage of voice variation becomes louder and the tone gradually becomes more intense while the husband stays calm.
