Language, language and speech - peculiar aspects

At first, these three elements, as they are part of the communicative act, seem to have particularities in common.
However, it is worth saying that from the point of view of Linguistics (which, in the voice of André Martinet, is considered as “the scientific study of human language”), each of them has specific traits.
As a result, the article in question aims to point out about these, in order to improve their knowledge regarding this subject. So, let's see:
The entire system of conventional signs that allows us to communicate is attributed to language, which can be verbal and non-verbal. Differentiating them, we have:
* Verbal language – represents one whose signs are words.
* Non-verbal language – is one that uses other signs so that communication is established. As an example, we can mention the language of deaf and dumb people, traffic signs, signs, among other symbols, manifested by:


A language is considered to be an entire conventional system (mediated by grammatical parameters) that belongs to a group of individuals. In this case, we have Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, among other languages. This system is formed by a set of signs, which are the words, and by a set of rules which establish the combination of these signs.


Finally, we have speech, whose meaning refers to the implementation of language, performed by an individual from a given community. Thus, taking advantage of their knowledge about the combinatorial laws that govern the language, each person expresses their thoughts and emotions in a particular way, in view of the unique character that guides the profile human.
