Most of the time, at least.Įver heard of the expression “It’s not the what, it’s the how!”? It refers to the way we choose to communicate a message.įor instance, if someone asks for our opinion on something, we might reply with “I don’t care/I don’t mind”.īut this will most likely elicit discomfort in our interlocutor, unlike “ I trust you entirely/ I trust your opinion.” The reason why there are misunderstandings lies in linguistics. People argue over Linguistics ALL the time That’s why I feel the duty to raise the bar for our blog readers and share the knowledge that has benefited me this much.Īnd, well, linguistics is to blame for one more thing. Undoubtedly, disciplines in Communication go hand in hand with these. It’s like corn turning into popcorn yes, that’s the perfect analogy!
The medium itself (blog) does not allow for (lucky you!) merely touching upon the beauty of Semiotics and Semantics, which de-compress multiple layers of meaning and its subtleties from a word. It spans over a wide range of topics, all the way to Structuralism (not like there is a continuum of Linguistics, or an extreme to it, for that matter).īut, to get the hang of it, know that Linguistics goes as far as to encompass Structuralism, this magical methodology which unearths the underlying interactions among cultural elements and the entire spectrum of human emotions, cognition, etc.Īnd during my studies there, anything from Linguistics I, II, ( and more Latin numerals), to Sociolinguistics, to Theoretical Linguistics, you name it, was on every semester’s specials. Linguistics picks up from phonemes, those tiny bits of language named sounds. I’ve been trying to hold back and NOT play the Linguistics/Semantics/Semiotics card. Iv) the medium used to serve its purpose to communication. Iii) psychology (see perception, self-image, attitude towards the speaker) and The objective of this section is to explain to fellow Marketers who come from different academic backgrounds than I, that meaning (subject lines included) is a function of If that’s not you, simply skip to the sheer Marketing part. What I’m about to describe in this section is for the inquisitive minds out there who are always looking to explore, discover and learn. – Yesterday’s training was crazy! When it was over I felt as if I had climbed up a mountain!Īnd this, my friends, is why you gotta love Linguistics. I wasn’t really paying attention to what they were talking about but their conversation did catch my attention when one of them used an unexpected phrase.
Which, lucky for me, came about when those two ladies started running on the treadmills next to me. And those miles weren’t going to run themselves- I needed some kind of mental stimulation to get me going. I was at the gym the other day, running on the treadmill and all, when my iPod died.
