Linguistics is the scientific study of human language and language is about communication. Linguistic communication is a system of sounds, gestures and written symbols. It bears specific meaning and significance within a particular social group. These understandings differ significantly between different people, based upon region, developmental age and cultural practice. The study of these bodies of communal knowledge is called languages and is known as linguistics. Communication is of two types verbal and non-verbal. Noun-Linguistic communication is a systematic means of communicating by the use of sounds or conventional symbolsThis paper examines the use of the terms communication, communicating and communicative in introductory linguistics texts. This paper is designed to illustrate and consider the relations between three types of metarepresentational ability used in verbal comprehension: the ability to metarepresent-attributed thoughts, the ability to metarepresent-attributed utterances, and the ability to metarepresent abstract, non-attributed representations for example sentence types, utterance types, propositions and conjunctions. Many researchers have done research on metarepresentation on the study of linguistic communication. However, there has been little interaction among them.. The aim of this paper is to show how the results of these separate strands of research might be integrated with an empirically acceptable pragmatic theory. | | Keywords : | | |
