Language as a tool

-The effective communication is made possible with the help of language.

-Language employs a combination of words to communicate ideas in a


meaningful way.

-Changing the word order in a sentence,you can change its meaning, and
even make it meaningless.

Drawing conclusions- is using information that is implied or inferred to make


meaning out of what is not clearly stated.

-Writers give readers hints or clues that help them read between the lines,
since not everything is explicitly stated or spelled out all the time.

How to Draw Conclusions

If you've ever been a bit nosey and listened in on a couple's conversation at


a coffee shop, you have probably drawn a few conclusions about those
people. By gathering informational clues about what they said, how they said
it, and their body language, you could conclude a bit about what they're
really thinking and feeling by reading between the lines.

For example: let's say the man says, 'Why don't we hang out with my friends
tonight instead of seeing that new Brad Pitt movie?' Then, the woman says,
'Fine.' But her annoyed tone of voice, crossed arms, and her rolling eyes are
all clues that point to the fact that she is not fine with this at all. You wouldn't
have to know these two people to draw the conclusion that she doesn't want
to hang out with his friends and is annoyed at the thought of missing the
movie.
