Definition Linguistic Linguistic Definition
The word linguistic (corresponding to linguistic in English, linguist in French, and linguist in Dutch) is derived from the lingua (Latin) which means language. In Roman languages there is a word similar to or similar to the word Lingua. Among other things, lingua is in Italian, lengue in Spanish, langue and langage in French. Langue means a certain language, such as English, Javanese, and French. While langage means language in general that is human.
In general linguistics is commonly interpreted as a science or language that takes the language as the object of study. Linguistics is a science that studies the language scientifically (Kridalaksana, 1982: 99). In more detail in the Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary (LN), it is stated that linguistics is the study of human speech including its units, the nature of language, structure, and language changes. In Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary (lexicas, 1988: 10) linguistic is the study of a studying language, such as the structure of language, the acquisition of language and its relationship to other forms of communication.
In the following explanation some definitions of language are taken from various sources as the study material.1. Language is a means of communication between people, in the form of sound sounds produced by human speech (Keraf, 1984: 16).2. Language is a systematic tool for conveying ideas or feelings by using signatures, sounds, gestures, or agreed signals that contain understandable meanings (Woster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, 1961: 1270 ).3. Language is an arbitrary system of symbolic sounds used by members of social groups to cooperate, interact, and identify (Kridalaksana and Kentjono, 1982: 2).4. Language is an arbitrary vowel symbol system that allows all people in a particular culture or others who study the cultural system to communicate or interact (Finochiaro, 1964: 8).
If we examine the four definitions above, there are different perceptions about the meaning of language. The difference can be seen from the point of view of experts based on the existence of that language. Definitions 1 and 2 in puhak differ from the definitions of 3 and 4 as the other side. Definitions 1 and 2 focus on the function of language as a communication tool. It shows that definitions 1 and 2 still have a broad reference, that is everything (all tools) that can be used to convey ideas and messages. The broad definition of 1 and 2 above also shows that the sign intended in the language is not only a linguistic sign, but also other signs, including gestures. Another breadth of definitions 1 and 2 above are all sounds produced by human speech utensils, including siul sounds, coughs and so on interpreted as sounds of language.
the point
In contrast to definitions 1 and 2, the 3 and 4-minute definitions are characterized by the characteristics of the language (language characteristics). Some interesting things to conclude as an element of equation in definitions 3 and 4 above are a) language is a system; b) as system, language is arbitrary; and c) as arbitrary systems, languages can be used to interact, both with others and themselves.
