Week 7-Monday

"Language works like a game of chess." The quote of the afternoon during our in-class conversations. It was interesting to see such a unique picture painted before our eyes about the importance of language, the difference in Langue and Parol, and how that affects and effects each one of us. I like what we talked about later on in the class about how language constructs its meaning from other languages and the difference begins to determine the difference between languages. Further, meaning comes from the differences. Also, language is a tool rather than a mirror. This is so true because language should be identified with uniqueness, meaning, difference, and viewed in such a way that not everyone sees the same thing or describes things the same!
