The readings were very interesting. I thought it was quite interesting that the process of language was so complex. Even though we say something simple like “How are you?,” the brain is doing so much behind the scenes. In mere seconds, the brain processes what we want to say. Furthermore, I thought the concept of a word by itself having too much meaning to also be interesting. I would assume that individual words would be simple due to only being one word. However, the article argued for the point that an individual word has too many meanings due to not being in any context. These readings helped shape my learning language process by giving me insight in what language is. Language is more than speaking words and writing sentences. Language is about making connections, both in the brain and with others. It is ironic in the sense that the less words used, the sentence will be more open to interpretation.
