Owens 1 Thomas Brown Owens English 100 Prof. Ryan Bloom 2014-03-24 Proper use of Grammar in Speech and Writing Language is a way of communication between two or more people and is a melding of the languages of the many different people who have lived in Britain; Grammar is the constitutional foundation of our ability to express our selves and the proper way to write and speak is through grammar because Standard Written English requires proper grammar usage in order to make sense and for people to comprehend what is been said and ultimately projecting a reflection of who you are and what you are made of. First, spelling does not equal grammar. Second, we do use proper grammar every time we speak or write but most of us do not even know it. Every languages have some kind of grammatical machinery, such as nouns, verbs, auxiliaries and agreements Most of us don’t think about it even when we are speaking or talk even in our native languages. Grammar is the reason we know Yoda from star wars talks kind of funny or at least that’s what we think or that we think the French people talk weird...

There are many reasons why good grammar is important at work. First of all, if an applicant has bad grammar, then he or she may not even get hired in the first place. Kyle Weins, CEO of ifixit, said in his “Harvard Business Review article” that he won’t even hire applicants who have bad grammar; his company has an English test that all applicants must take. Many other companies also have English tests in the hiring process. He also said that good grammar skills show how serious someone is about they’re work; someone with lazy grammar looks like a lazy worker. Plus, good grammar makes people look smarter; someone with a wide vocabulary and great grammar would do a better job impressing a client (Weins ). In her Frobes article, Susan Adams listed the reasons why she thinks good grammar at work is important. She says that good grammar show that an employee knows when to use context appropriate language. It also shows respect to the person they’re talking to and finally it shows that they’re organized people. Employers value an organized employee because they more dependable (Adams).
Good Grammar in the work place is very important. Without good grammar the work place wouldn’t be as repeatable as they want to be. Grammar is important in the work place because the employees need to sound as educated and intelligent as they can. Kyle Weins states that having good grammar shows intelligence. Having good grammar, according to Kyle Weins, shows that people can be organized in grammar and in tasks unrelated to grammar. Because of the internet, the grammar rules are changing. Correct grammar in the work place is important because if you work in a job that is like Kyle Weins’s company; the employees need to have good grammar because detail is very important to his company (Weins). Proper grammar in the work place shows that the employees are intelligent and recommends respect. Adam states that if you look for correct grammar while listening to other people; it shows that you are listening to the person and are thinking about what you are going to say. Correct grammar in the work place is very important, because it shows intelligence in the employee and will benefit the whole company (Adams).
It might be necessary to weigh the worth of grammar in proper English. The world for those who speak it is becoming smaller. Proper English is becoming part of an elitist group which is also becoming smaller. Possibly less stress should be put on grammar. Few people understand perfect business language but a growling cat is understood quite well. English grammar is a created language, having both seperatist powers and anglocentric values. Voice is universal and quite older than grammar. Standards within English speaking areas must be questioned soon for it is becoming smaller and less powerful everyday. A rising population will require social skills. Seperating these from educated grammar will lead to greater problems.(One country under God...)
According to the article by Susan Adams “Why Grammar Counts At Work.” Good grammar count in the work place. Because improper use of grammar can confuse others. For examples the improper use of the word lie, and lay if both words aren’t use in the correct form it can be misleading to others. It’s also unpleasant to the employers of these professional work place when those employee’s used improper grammar words. Good grammar counts at work because it make one sounds professional.
Language is a method in which individuals communicate in order to get their opinion across to the listening party. Language is the tool which ideas can be conveyed in various ways. Typically, language is referred to verbal communication, however, it ranges to all methods of communication i.e. sign language.
Language is very important; it is part of communication and it allows you to connect to other people. The importance of language is that it involve the use of language in every aspect and interaction in our everyday lives. We use language in order to communicate effectively using our words, gestures, and tone of voice in multitude of situation. As defined by Richard & Schmidt (2010), language is the system of human communication which consists of the structured arrangement of sound into larger units, e.g. morphemes, words sentences, utterances. In other words, language is a device that is used by people to express their ideas or information to each other.
In this essay I intend to investigate how differently one of the closed word classes, determiners, are approached in a series of pre and post corpus-based English grammar reference books, course books and practice books. And the theme of my investigation is how corpus affects the development of English teaching materials. The grammar reference books I intend to analyze and compare are “A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language” (ACGEL) and “Cambridge Grammar of English” (CGE). The former is an indispensable grammar reference book first published in 1985, which has been widely consulted in researches in relation to English linguistic studies, while the later offers clear explanations of both spoken and written English grammar based on authentic everyday usage.
Language is the most critical tool in understanding the dialects and usage that may often be difficult without proper education and knowledge. Analyzing language is key to understanding and avoiding misunderstandings and misinformation about different cultures within our world, even generational differences within our own community. In continuing to discover language one needs to understand many things including; the key features that make up verbal and written languages. Language and lexicon go hand in hand when one starts to learn about communication. One can define language as the system of human expression and communication using thoughts and feelings expressed via speech and, or written symbols. The communicative
Language is a part of our everyday lives, and we can describe the meaning of language in many ways. As suggested in Gee and Hayes (2011, p.6 ) people can view language as something in our minds or something existing in our world in the form of speech, audio recordings, and writings or we can view language as a way of communicating with a group of people. Language can be used to express our emotions, make sense of our mental and abstract thoughts and assists us in communicating with others around us. Language is of vital importance for children to enable them to succeed in school and everyday life. Everyone uses both oral and written language. Language developed as a common ability amongst human beings with the change
According to Oxford Dictionaries (2012) language means “The method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way”. It has a high impact within communication because the act of transmitting information is accomplished through the use of the language. For example, each language has particular symbols (alphabet and numbers) and phonetic sounds that help the individual giving emphasis and understanding to the information. Language is based on rules which involve morphology (word structure), syntax (grammar and sentence structure), semantic...
The English language dictionary defines the term ‘language’ as the systematic coordination of symbols used for significant communication. These language symbols are governed by rules and as such must meet a given before it can be called a ‘language’.
It is not easy to explain or define what a “language” is. Every person and linguist has their own definition of a language. However, some linguists have defined “language” as a finite system of elements and principles that make it possible for speakers to construct sentences to do particular communicative jobs (Finegan and Besnier, 1989). The part of the system that grants individuals to produce and interpret grammatically correct sentences is called “Grammatical Competence” (An Introduction of Language and Linguistics, 2014 edition). And the first person to introduce it was Naom Chopsky as a section of the foundations of genitive grammar (Aspects of the theory of syntax, 1965). It was defined later on by many other linguist as “the knowledge
Language is the medium that has been used in transferring our thoughts which is produced in mind, in order to communicate with people around us. After World War 2, English language has become lingua franca because of the socioeconomic demands and the revolution of linguistics (Hutchinson and Water, 2001). In addition, English language is officially the most vital language in the world. Globalization has encouraged all the people around the world to use English language in their communication especially in the education system. So, it is important to acquire English language.
A large part of an English teacher’s job deals with helping students find their own voices amidst the many teachings of their parents and peers. A student’s voice can be their values, their interests, and their perspectives of the world in which they live. Their voice can be their critical questioning of the many situations they face, whether in a text, the school cafeteria, or a park after school. It is the job of an English teacher to aid in finding this voice through their writing. It is by putting words and thoughts down on paper that a student can sometimes feel comfortable enough to take risks and find their true voices. Although traditional grammar instruction has long been thought to improve this skill, this is no longer the case. Instead, by providing a classroom environment in which students are immersed in classic literature from many genres including poetry, short stories, and novels, students will learn how to harness grammar for their own purposes of finding their voice in their writing.
