The characteristics of language:



a.       Language is sound or speech: written language is only representation of the spoken language. Spoken language is more important in language.
b.      Language has a meaning: differentiate between the meaningful and unmeaningful sound.
c.       Language is linier: language comes in series. We can produce different sound with the same time. Contoh: a yang diucapkan terlebih dulu atau u yang diucapkan terlebih dulu, jadi tidak bisa diucapkan secara bersama-sama.
Difference kinds of language:
·      Aglutinative language: memperhatikan urutan bahwa Subjek harus lebih dulu dari Verb.
·      Inflectional language: ada bahasa Rusia tidak pandang urutan. Contoh Subjek boleh diakhir kalimat, Objek boleh di awal kalimat, Verb boleh di akhir kalimat.
Arab    : a=objek; I=milik; U=subjek (terdapat 3 kasus)
Rusia   : 6 kasus
Inggris : Pronoun
d.      Language has rules: the rules are finite (terbatas), they can produce infinite sentence to express different ideas.
Clausa sentence: unsur utama dalam clausa itu ada satu Subjek and I verb finite.
It and there: tidak menyatakan yang sebenarnya (existence/ formal/ impersomal it/there).
e.       Language consists of unit
·      Phonetic is not part of linguistics
·      Phonetic describes all possible human sounds, tanpa memperhatikan makna.
·      Phonology is part of linguistics because in phonology, people study the sound in the certain language assosiated the meaning.
·      The units of language: morpheme (morphology), word, phrase, clause, sentence (syntax), discourse.
·      Sound: phonology
f.       Language is universal
g.      Languages are different
