Language Learning

Language learning.

Language is a system of arbitrary, vocal symbols which permit all people in a given culture or other people who have learned the system of that culture or other people who have learned the system of that culture to communicate or interact (Finocchario, 1964:8).

Language is a system of communication by sound, operating through the organs of speech and hearing among members of a given community and using vocal symbols possessing arbitrary conventional meanings (Pei, 1966:141).

Thus language is a conventional system of arbitrary vocal symbols through which human thought is conveyed or communicated from one human being to another.

The Lamb by William Blake

"The Lamb" is a poem by William Blake, published in Songs of Innocence in 1789.

THE LAMB

   Little lamb, who made thee?

   Dost thou know who made thee,

Gave thee life, and bid thee feed

By the stream and o’er the mead;

Gave thee clothing of delight,

Softest clothing, woolly, bright;

Gave thee such a tender voice,

Making all the vales rejoice?

   Little lamb, who made thee?

   Dost thou know who made thee?

The Tiger

THE TYGER (from Songs of Experience)

By William Blake

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright 
In the forests of the night, 
What immortal hand or eye 
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.

My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil,
     this air,
