ubiquitous nature: traditional, creative, universality, arbitrariness, duality- displaced from time and place, structure bound, innate ability and a learned activity. Three dichotomies

of Saussure, Aspects of Language: Phonology, Morphology, Syntax and Semantics LSRW Sociolinguistics aspects : Studying language as a social phenomenon and a dynamic system- in relation to power

politics, gender relations, interpersonal communication, literacy, upward social mobility and towards the development of social

personality, language planning and policy making., functions of language.
