Language consists of several subsystems
that have to do with sound,meaning,overall structure and everyday use.Knowing
language entails mastering each of these aspects and combining them into a
flexible communication system. The first component , phonology , refers to the
rules governing the structure and
sequences of speech sounds. Semantics, the second component involves vocabulary-
the way underlying concepts are expressed in words and word combinations .
Grammar, the third component of language , consists of two main parts: syntax
the rules by which words are arranged into sentences and morphology , the use
of grammatical markers that indicate number , tense , case , person , gender ,
active or passive voice and other meanings. Pragmatics refer to the rules for
engaging in appropriate and effective communication. The given four components
of language although being different in there aspects are interdependent on each other.
Acquisitions of each facilitates mastery of the others.
