Match List-I component of language with List-II meaning of the language component and select the correct option from the given codes below. List-I (Component of language) List-II (meaning of language components) I. Phonology A. Refers to the rules for engaging in appropriates and effective communication. II. Semantic B. Refers to the rules governing the structure and sequence of speech sounds. III. Syntax C. The way underlying concepts are expressed in words and word combinations. IV. Morphology D. The rule by which words are arranged into sentences. E. Grammatical markers indicating number, tense, case, person, gender, active or passive voice and other meanings. Correct Answer I - B, II - C, III - D, ∣V - E Language is a symbolic, rule-governed system, shared by a group of people to express their thoughts and feelings. These rules are the set of conventions that organize their proper use and dictate how words relate to one another. Some of these rules that govern a language include phonology, syntax, morphology, semantics, etc. Key Points Phonology is the component of language referring to rules governing the structure and sequence of the speed of sounds. For example, patterns of sounds, in terms of a sequence of sounds that are permissible in a specific language. Semantics:-Semantics refers to the ways in which a language conveys meaning. The way underlying concepts are expressed in words and word combinations. Someone who studies semantics is interested in words and what real-world object or concept those words denote, or point to. Syntax:-The study of how individual words and their most basic meaningful units are combined to create sentences is known as syntax. The rule by which words are arranged into sentences. As words are grouped together when we communicate, we must follow the rules of grammar for our language, in other words, its syntax. Morphology:-Moving to the next level of language, we find the study of the smallest units of meaning, morphemes. Morphemes include base words, such as “hat,” “dog,” or “love,” as well as affixes, such as “un-,” “re-,” the plural “s” or “es,” and the past tense “ed.”Grammatical markers indicating number, tense, case, person, gender, active or passive voice, and other meanings. Knowledge of the morphology of our language is critical to vocabulary development and reflects the smallest building blocks for comprehension. Thus, it is concluded that I - B, II - C, III - D, ∣V - E is the correct answer.
