You Are A Complete Schmendrick! Language is an Art.

       

 What is beauty? As a member of the male gender, I would say beauty is a girl who has an amazingly alluring outer appearance: the shape, the smoothness, the flawless skin,  the golden mean of her eyes, nose and everything else. Its all about the outer part isn't it? Pulchritudinous is the word for physical beauty. But the Greeks sees alot more to beauty than just a girl, they surely enjoy watching girls and their tenderness, but they are reluctant to confined and  narrow it down to 'girl's stuff '.They see an art as a beauty, a good deed as warmth as beauty is, an idea as capturing as beauty could be, and ultimately they see beauty in the language itself, Ironic isn't it? The noun beauty reflects its own constitution! The fact that in a language you have hundreds of words that could be use to describe beauty is the evidence of itself being beautiful. It doesn't end there, the words is one thing, but the genuine syntax of the words is potentially infinite in its versatility and scope. How many possible arrangement could you make from words in a language to make a sentence is the ultimate part of the beauty of language. And im currently learning English extensively so that it would someday be on par with my mothertongue.

                                                                                                                                                                   

          Urshprache meaning proto-language, is the first existed language where all of the language in the present day is its long evolved descendant. Yes its not just us evolving, so does languages, and they seems to be as much alive as we are. Everyday there's at least one  new word born in a language. In the formation of a word, there's alot of resources, English itself most of its words originates from various sources but most common of all are Latin, Greek, French , and Spanish. To get a better understanding or to be a good etymologist, we should know what makes up a word: prefix, root, and suffix. Thence, the diversity of a language makes it so debonair, imagine to use a loan word while conversing, say for instance in giving example we can say exempli gratia,  to speak  sincerely we can say ex animo, and thank you as gracias. 

         

         Complexity. In a language we have maxim, adage, proverbs and conventional wisdom in which each of  them helps to convey our message so effectively but at the same time indirectly. We also have vulgar and profanity, though we tends to avoid them (or do we?) , they are of a great weapon when we are in need of expressing our exasperation, anger and hatred. We have abstarct words like justice, love, kindness, egalitarianism and alot of other ism that carries an idea that only exist in our mind. How amazing is that! I just used rhetorical did you notice?? The question of how is not meant to be answered, it meant to state how amazing it is. Other than that, we also have aliteration, methaphor, hyperbole, exaggeration, satire, analogy, allusion, allegory, euphemism, dsyphemism, paradox, irony, oxymoron, and onomatopoeia.

         Language can be very subjective, Different people perceive a word differently. Take for example  the word ejaculation, it means a burst of anything , could be laughter, speech or lava, but in biology, the word is used specially for the occasion of male's orgasm. And the word squirt holds the same connotation for female but more as a slang than a biological term. Someone exposed to such usage of a particular word would only feel awkward when someone else utter it in a conversation. Connotation of a word makes it more complex, it makes your diction to be highly cautious not to choose the wrong word.

        I love language. But how poor the school or in fact any other education institution outlined the language in a syllabus could potentially makes anyone the worse protester of that language. I have a theory, if you are good at something you will eventually develop a passion of it. Vice versa. If you are bad at something, you will ended up resenting that thing as i have hate football because im not good at hand-eye-coordination. The school always potray your skills in a language as bad, They judge you, give marks and penalize you. Consequently you are destined to hate it but a fortunate few to be privilege with the right education would succeed in that system.

        Im not a scintillating wit at adolescent but i regret not taking a keen interest in language back then. You, instead, are a complete schmendrick to not believe me. I just learn the word and im practically in love with it as if that is all i can think of at the moment. : )
     
      Solve this conundrum if you are capable of it. What came first in a language, a word or  a sentence? if you say a word, how do you explain the meaning of a word without constructing a sentence first? Just a brain teaser. There's an answer!
