The method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way.
Elements of Language
Researchers have identified three broad and different aspects of language: Receptive language: What infants understand from the language of others.
Expressive language: How babies communicate to others through increasingly sophisticated speech and expanded vocabulary.
Pragmatic language: All the subtle facets of language — facial expressions, body movements, tone, volume, inflection, ideas about when to speak and for how long. These additions are the amplifiers and fine-tuners of communication. They help infants and all of us to better express what we mean, and to understand what others are telling us.
