  1. Principles of Communication Unit 1: Fundamentals of Communication

  2. Objectives Chapter 1 Lecture and Discussion: Following this class you will be able to: Describe language as a mechanism of communication Describe developments in the study of language Understand and use a range of linguistic terms Discuss relationships between language and culture Consider implications for the Hospitality Industry Chapter 1 Case Study Instructor Review Student Q&A

  3. 1.4 The Definition of Language The word ‘language’ can have different meanings: The concept of collecting and sending of information A system for those concepts; like French, English, Thai A formal system of rules of grammar A mechanism for communication A system for cooperation The infinite set of utterances for finite elements; animals don’t have this ability

  6. 1.5 The Study of Language Linguistics, has been developing into a science for more than 2000 years… …from Pāṇini’s ‘Sanskrit’… …to Sibawayh’s ‘Al-kitabfi al-nahw’… …to Plato’s ‘Cratylus dialogue’

  7. 1.6 Language and Its Parts Language has three parts: signs, meanings, and codes and is analyzed through the following studies: Semiotics = how signs and meanings are used Syntax = the grammar rules of a system Semantics = meaning of the signs, words, phrases Specific signs are assigned to show those meanings easier…

  8. 1.6 Language and Its Parts Phonology studies how we create meaning Phonetics studies how we form sounds Those sounds are phonemes, or syllables: Vowels Consonants

  9. Phonetics for English Consonants (IPA)

  10. Phonetics for Thai Consonants (IPA)

  11. Phonemes - Vowel Sounds Short vowel sounds e o u a i use single vowels b a t bilabial plosive dental plosive / æ / Long vowel sounds usecombinations of vowels n i c e / aɪ /

  12. Phonemes - Vowel Sounds Long vowel sounds n i c e use combinations of vowels r i c e r i d e Alternative spellings: f r i e d (samesound) fi g h t / aɪ / h ei g h t c r y

  13. Quick Game On the sheet provided: Write as many words as you can using the LONG VOWEL sound provided. Think of different ways to spell the sound and write as many words using these spelling For a bonus point, write a sentence using as many of these words as you can Fay and Jane play on the same day. Nope! I won’t throw the toad! Eve needs to see the team. The cute blue goose flew to the moon.

  14. Considerations / Restrictions We have seen many vowel and consonant combinations (phonemes). However, the construction of English does provide limitations. For example: /ŋ/, as in sing, occurs only at the end of a syllable, never at the beginning such as in Thai ( ngu – snake – งู, or ngoen – money – เงิน) /h/ occurs only before vowels and at the beginning of a syllable, never at the end (a few languages, such as Arabic, or Romanian allow /h/ syllable-finally) Anomalies tough dough bow cough bow

  15. 1.6 Language and Its Parts Morphemes are meaningful elements in a language. They can either be FREE or BOUND. If they are FREE, they are called WORDS. If they are BOUND, they are called AFFIXES. Two types: dis satisfy PREFIX Positioned BEFORE a word ing satisfy SUFFIX Positioned AFTER a word ing dis satisfy COMBINATIONS

  16. 1.6 Language and Its Parts The rules for this use of morphemes is called morphology… Syntax then gives rules for using multiple morphologic forms in a statement structure. AFFIXES (suffixes) WORD

  17. 1.6 Language and Its Parts Grammar is the study of the SYSTEM of languages. It provides RULES for combining MORPHEMES to createfurther meaning, through PHRASES and SENTENCES. We then use word classes (or parts of speech) for those grammar rules… such as nouns (the subject of a statement) and verbs (the action). Sallyruns. Sallythrows a ball. predicate (verb) verb object subject subject intransitive (no object) transitive (has object)

  18. 1.6 Language and Its Parts Syntax “the way that words and phrases are put together to form sentences in a language; the rules of grammar for this” Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary Determiner: ‘used to qualify nouns’e.g., the, a, his, your, two, etc.

  19. Syntax Activity Noun Phrase(subject) You will be given a complete sentence structure. You must identify/position the ‘syntactic’ components. Using the shaded vocab cards, create a meaningful sentence.

  20. 1.7 Language and Culture Sentence Verb Phrase (predicate) Noun Phrase (subject) ADV Adverb VVerb PPPrepositional Phrase DET Determiner NNoun NP Noun Phrase DETDeterminer PREPPreposition N Noun NP Noun Phrase DETDeterminer N Noun son the The father saw his instantly at market

  21. 1.7 Language and Culture Language and culture are very closely intertwined. We perceive only what our language allows us. Our language controls our world view. Speakers of different languages have different world views. Studies of language and culture consider: Socio-linguistics Ethno-linguistics Linguistic Anthropology

  22. 1.7 Language and Culture Humans use language as a way of signaling identitywith one cultural group and difference from others. Languages do not differ only in pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar but also ‘speaking cultures’. Language practice can be used based on cultural norms: social class gender age rank education ‘kinship’

  23. 1.7 Language and Culture They connect for speech and behavior, like… Formal Conversation (“Yes, I would like some water.”) Informal Conversation(“Yeah, gimme some water.”) Slang (“Yo! I’m dying of thirst o’er ere!”) Hierarchy Vocabulary(“Nong Wit.” or“Pee Wit.”) Gender(“Krup” or “Ka”) Communication must be adapted in order to be understood.

  24. 1.7 Language and Culture The Hospitality Industry provides for MORE LANGUAGES AND CULTURES exposure and experience than ANY other! So, it is ESSENTIAL that YOU MAXIMISE YOUR UNDERSTANDING

  25. Summary Today you have learned how to: • Describe language as a mechanism of communication • Describe developments in the study of language • Understand and use a range of linguistic terms • Discuss relationships between language and culture • Consider implications for the Hospitality Industry

  26. BREAK! Now, take a 30-minute break and then return to the class to work on your term paper focus. Enjoy! Take a break!

  27. Handout Review You will now be given a handout with comprehension questions. Use the book and the notes you’ve taken to answer the questions as best as possible. You have 45-minutes to complete the handouts and return them to the instructor at the end of class.

  28. HOMEWORK! Go to the copy shop next to the canteen and get a copy of Unit 2: Ethical Communication. Read Unit 2 and complete sections 2.1 Key Vocabulary and Chapter 2 Review: Case Study.
