Summary of "Tipos de LENGUAJE"
Overview
Concise summary of the video: it explains different types of human language, how language develops across stages, and the factors that influence how we use language.
Main idea
The video outlines:
- Types of human language (verbal, visual, kinesic, iconic, auditory, specialized registers).
- Stages of language development from prelinguistic sounds to full conventional language.
- Key factors that shape language use (speech, language as a system, and linguistic norms).
Language development stages
- Prelinguistic stage
- Early non-verbal and vocal behaviors: first vocalizations, knocks, whistles, silences, pauses.
- Occurs before distinct phoneme use and full language acquisition.
- Linguistic stage
- Differentiation of phonemes and the emergence of structured spoken sounds.
- Postlinguistic stage
- Acquisition of a full communication system and conventional language use.
Key factors that influence language use
- Speech: the act of producing language orally.
- Language (as a system): the code or set of rules shared by a community or territory.
- Linguistic norms: accepted or “correct” uses of language (grammar, register, conventions).
Types of language
Verbal language
- Oral: spoken speech used in conversation, speeches, etc.
- Written: texts that transmit ideas (letters, essays, articles).
Visual language
- Artistic: images communicating emotion or ideas (photography, painting).
- Advertising: visual elements used to persuade or sell (commercials, ads).
- The video itself functions as an example of visual language (viewers see the presenter).
Kinesic (body) language
- Gestural: hand and arm movements conveying meaning.
- Mimetic: facial expressions and imitation of actions.
- Non-verbal bodily expression: posture and movement (e.g., dance expressing emotions).
Iconic language
- Symbols/icons that convey meaning quickly (traffic signs, game symbols).
- Emoticons and emoji as digital icons — interpretation can vary online, whereas physical signage tends to have standardized meanings.
Auditory language
- Nonverbal sound-based signals (knocks, whistles, pauses) used to communicate, especially in prelinguistic contexts.
Specialized registers
- Scientific language: technical, rule-driven vocabulary used in scientific discourse (oral and written).
- Literary language: stylistic devices (metaphor, imagery) that add beauty and emotion to speech or writing.
Practical notes and clarifications
- Register: language can be formal (used in business, protocol, official contexts; more objective and rule-bound) or informal (colloquial, subjective, casual).
- Digital language: emoticons and emojis provide iconic shorthand but their meanings can vary by context or platform; physical signage is usually standardized.
