DID YOU KNOW THAT…
…the structure of language may be analyzed and described as it

exists at some point in time, either in the present or in the past?
 The approach that considers a language as though it had been

sliced through time, ignoring historical antecedents, is referred
to as synchronic linguistics.
 It is also possible to study the historical development of a
language by giving attention to the changes that occurred in the
language over a period of time. Such an approach is diachronic,
or historical, linguistics.

the so-called lingua franca is one of the best examples. Why
is it called a living language?

insight (what you have observed and learned) on reading the
first chapter of this module.
LANGUAGES IN VARIATION AND

C. Philippines is undeniably known for a number of dialects as it is subdivided into
regions rich of their own cultures. Suppose you are on a trip abroad and you happen
to meet a foreign friend who seems so interested about the richness of the language in
our country, how would you explain it to him? To ensure a clearer explanation, create
a 3-5 minute video presentation depicting the country’s dialects and cultures. You
can download photos or short video clips from the internet for your video to look
lively and realistic but see to it that the “voice over” comes from you. Insert sound
effects if you please. The art lies in your hand.
Congratulations for enduring the

challenges of this semester, young
dreamer! You are a CONQUEROR
because GOD designed you to be!
