WRITTEN FORM OF LANGUAGE

A written text can communicate across time and space for as long as the particular
language and writing system is still understood.

Written language tends to be more complex and intricate than speech with longer
sentences and many subordinate clauses. The punctuation and layout of written texts also have
no spoken equivalent. However some forms of written language, such as instant messages and
email, are closer to spoken language.

Written material can be read repeatedly and closely analysed, and notes can be made on
the writing surface. Only recorded speech can be used in this way.

The written language can be significantly more precise. Written words can be chosen
with greater deliberation and thought, and a written argument can be extraordinarily
sophisticated, intricate, and lengthy. These attributes of writing are possible because the pace of
involvement is controlled by both the writer and the reader. The writer can write and rewrite at
great length, a span of time which in some cases can be measured in years. Similarly, the reader
can read quickly or slowly or even stop to think about what he or she has just read. More
importantly, the reader always has the option of re-reading; even if that option is not exercised,
its mere possibility has an effect upon a reader's understanding of a text. The written word
appeals more to a contemplative, deliberative style.

Example Of Written Form of Text

RAINBOW
Almost everyone very likes a natural phenomenon called the rainbow. To the extent that a lot of
people create an art work like song, cake, and the other work after seeing the beautiful colors of
the rainbow. But, do you know how the phenomenon of the appearance of the rainbow happens?

Rainbow occurs because of the refraction of light. The sunlight that shines in between the rain
drops is refracted by the rain drops. This process separates the white light of the sunlight into a
spectrum of different colors.

The spectrum of colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Or what we often
memorize as the abbreviation "ROY G BIV / mejikuhibiniu.” Then the colors reflect in the back
drops of rain, resulting the light which looks arched and becomes the rainbow.
