Written language

the origins of written language. Of course, forms of systematic writing developed concurrently across the globe, in addition to inter-region differentiation in written communication. Furthermore, the common use of pictograms in the earliest forms of writing present an additional challenge: requiring archaeologists to establish a fundamental difference between the representations of culture in artwork, and similar information denoted in a formal writing system. The discussion in class did not broach this conundrum, and neither did the textbook, yet I found the lack of specificity puzzling. Are cave paintings not a pictographic representation of hunting ritual and cultural practices? Regardless, archaeologists have worked…

The main similarity between spoken and written languages is that they can mark the status of a sentence. Spoken language has prosodic characteristic,…

Abstract As news reports and media covers become more regular, the significance of the written language often becomes neglected. Therefore it is important to emphasize the significance of the written language and how this is a means of power. By going back in history, the agricultural communities show that the necessity of a means of power to be able to build a functional and abiding society constituted the result of the written language. Confirmation of its various usability makes a clear…

This is why language development is very important. Often teachers in…
