Study Notes
Language Varieties
- Tagalog includes distinct varieties like Southern Tagalog (Laguna, Batangas) and Bulacan Tagalog, often called dialects.
Domains of Language
- Phonology: Focuses on pronunciation and rules governing speech sounds.
- Morphology: Concerns word structure and the usage of morphemes.
- Syntax: Deals with sentence structure and rules for word arrangement.
- Semantics: Examines the meanings of language elements.
- Pragmatics: Pertains to language use in social contexts, influencing communication based on situational context.
Pidgin and Creole
- Pidgin: Emerges in multi-lingual situations where speakers need a common means of communication without a shared language (e.g., Chavacano in the Philippines).
- Creole: Develops when a pidgin becomes a first language for children in a community (e.g., Gullah, Patwa).
Minority Dialects
- Represent identity markers used alongside standard varieties by minority ethnic groups (e.g., Sinama of the Badjaos).
Consultative Communication
- Utilized in specialized conversations, often respectful, and may involve honorifics (e.g., interactions with doctors or formal broadcasts).
Auxiliary Languages
- Support national languages in specific regions (e.g., Ilokano, Pangasinan, Tagalog).
Communication Styles
- Upward Communication: Information flow from subordinates to higher management.
- Horizontal Communication: Interaction among peers from different units.
- Diagonal Communication: Cross-unit communication at various organizational levels.
Intercultural Communication
- Involves exchanges between individuals of different linguistic, religious, social, and professional backgrounds.
- Effective cultural understanding can prevent misinterpretations.
Varieties of English
- English variations are equally valid; historical norms dictated by American and British English don't diminish local forms.
Regional Identity through Language
- Specific regional varieties of English showcase unique grammar and vocabulary, affirming national or ethnic identity (e.g., "senatoriable," "congressman").
Impact of Social Media
- New media platforms transform personal relationships; harmful behavior online can affect one's reputation.
Email Communication
- BCC (Blind Carbon Copy): Sends emails discreetly without revealing recipients' names to each other, crucial for maintaining transparency.
- Body of the Email: Should be concise with a maximum of four paragraphs, each addressing a single point.
- Closing of an Email: Use standard closings like "Thank you," "Best regards," and always include your full name after the closing.
