Document Summary
Language defines us and linguistics is the study of how language works- how it misused, how it is acquired, and how it changes over time, how it is represented in the brain, and so on. Because there are always new things to say, new experiences to report, and new challenges to confront, language has to be creative. The creativity of a language lyes within the systematic constraints that establish boundaries. To show the creativeness of language view this table of. Verbs as action words and nouns as things. There are also special constraints on the meaning and use of particular subclasses of these verbs. One such constraint involves verbs that are created from time expressions such as summer, holiday,and so on. example. a) julia summeredin paria. But, not all time expressions can be used in this way. example. a) jerome midnightin the streets.
