Question 1
What is displacement and what examples can be given about this?

The displacement which is the property of language that allows us to talk about the future
and past time it is a property that only human communication has because animals cannot
talk about nor past neither future events they can only refer to the present this placement
also allows us to refer about things which we are not sure about their existence such as
angels hell and heaven; for example talk about outer space, talk about past wars, the
future, etc.

Question 2
What is productivity and what examples can be given about this?

The second one is productivity which is the human capacity of manipulating language
creating new words just as William Shakespeare did a few examples are lit meaning really
cool hella used as an intensifier to say that something incredibly big is hella big on the
contrary something really small is hella small and of course thanks to social media we have
developed a series of verbs depending on the app used if you post something on
Instagram you Instagram it same happens with a snapshotting or Google something.
Example you can create an infinite number of sentences when combined according to the
rules of grammar, is the case of poets, or literary.

Question 3
What is arbitrariness and what examples can be given about this?

Arbitrariness is when there is no natural connection between the linguistic forum and its
meaning that is to say when you write a word or see it written you get a mental image
according to the meaning of that word however that connection we make between the
word and the meaning is because of social convention not because the word has that
meaning in its nature for example when you see the word tree you will imagine a tree
because we socially conveyed it nonetheless there are some exceptions called
onomatopoeias in this case there is a clear connection between the word and the
meaning it is actually because the word represents the exact sound for example with the
word now you will imagine a cat because cats say meow. For example, the word table, or
 the word box, both did not have an exact relationship until we can visualize them in our
mind.

Group 4
What is duality and what examples can be given about this?

Another one is duality in which language appears to be organized at at least tw o levels

the primary level consisting of the units and the secondary level consisting of the elements
the elements of the secondary level combine the units of the primary level we can consider
the elements of verbal language to be speech sounds consonants and vowels these speech
sounds at a secondary level combine to form words or units for example how the word hat
is formed by the combination of three speech words the consonants C T and vowel a these
speech sounds are meaningless because if I just say the sound C it has no meaning but if
I say the word hat is meaningful because cat is an animal.

Question 5

What is cultural transmission and what examples can be given about this

Cultural transmission which is described as the process where a language is passed on

from one generation to the next for example if a Chilean couple adopt a child from Korea
the child will tend to learn Spanish and not Korean.

ADD A REFLECTION ABOUT HOW THIS INFORMATION CAN HELP YOU CREATE BETTER
MATERIALS FOR YOUR STUDENTS ( 50 WORDS )

The teaching of the properties of language occupies a preponderant place in current

studies and research because language constitutes the fundamental tool to apprehend
the world and interact in various contexts and situations and because the results on
the communicative competence of language users are worrisome. Faced with this
reality, the study of properties and their correct application in students helps to
provide the essential parameters on which the line of research should be sustained.
