Language is a symbolic, rule-governed system, shared by a group of people to express their thoughts and feelings. These rules are the set of conventions that organize their proper use and dictate how words relate to one another. Some of these rules that govern a language include phonology, syntax, morphology, semantics, etc.

Key Points

  • Phonology is the component of language referring to rules governing the structure and sequence of the speed of sounds. For example, patterns of sounds, in terms of a sequence of sounds that are permissible in a specific language.
  • Semantics:-Semantics refers to the ways in which a language conveys meaning. The way underlying concepts are expressed in words and word combinations. Someone who studies semantics is interested in words and what real-world object or concept those words denote, or point to.
  • Syntax:-The study of how individual words and their most basic meaningful units are combined to create sentences is known as syntax. The rule by which words are arranged into sentences. As words are grouped together when we communicate, we must follow the rules of grammar for our language, in other words, its syntax.
  • Morphology:-Moving to the next level of language, we find the study of the smallest units of meaning, morphemes. Morphemes include base words, such as “hat,” “dog,” or “love,” as well as affixes, such as “un-,” “re-,” the plural “s” or “es,” and the past tense “ed.”Grammatical markers indicating number, tense, case, person, gender, active or passive voice, and other meanings. Knowledge of the morphology of our language is critical to vocabulary development and reflects the smallest building blocks for comprehension.

Thus, it is concluded that I - B, II - C, III - D, ∣V - E is the correct answer.

Public opinion may be passive and false or active and real. It is claimed in theory that all governments are ultimately based on the opinion or sanction of the governed. But we find that in practice the people's rights are often trodden down and tyranny and oppression are allowed to continue. The government does it not because the people want it to do so but because they are too idle, too uneducated and too disunited or timid to oppose the govern ment. Such public opinion is passive and false and not an active verdict. But when we find people alert, intelligent and determined to let the government know their will, when they want to exercise actively their voice in the management of their country, we have an instance of true or active public opinion. True public opinion is formed by and expressed through the press, the platform, political parties and educational institutions. These have sacred duties to perform, duties on which depends the ultimate good of the entire community. The press today wields a tremendous influence, So it should support the causes and move ments and condemn the wrong one's and thus teach people to form correct opinion. A free and fair press ventilates the grievances of the public. Thus a healthy relationship develops between the people and the government through out an unbiased press. Political parties also help to create and regulate opinions. No less important part is played by the educational Institutions which train the minds of the young people who will be the citizens of tomorrow. It has been said that modern Germany and China have been made by their universities. It is necessary that the young and the growing minds should imbibe the spirit of fellow-feeling, the spirit of tolerance, the habit of compromise, and show due regard for the feelings and opinion of others without which a democratic society cannot function, let alone succeed. When there is true awakening of the people, we shall have the real and conscious public opinion. And justice will reign on earth and truly will the voice of the people be the voice of God.
