There are very many different effects of written and spoken language. Most people know what an acronym is or what a synonym is . But what is a glottal stop ? Tautology? Onomatopoeia? What about the structure - what is the meaning of prefixes like ‘hypo’ or a suffix such as ‘logue’?

Words alone convey basic meaning. Mood is conveyed in the way that words are put together and pronounced. Words can inspire, teach, clarify, amuse, motivate or persuade. The way we use language - in addition to the particular words we choose - is crucial for effective communications and understanding. The better your vocabulary, the better your life develops. Articulate individuals have power behind their words - they work better, love better and hopefully teach their children to carry their lexicon into the future. The way others use language gives us insight into their personalities, goals, motives, personalities, and needs. The study and awareness of linguistics helps us to know why we speak and write in different ways; how general language develops; and how so many words different languages share the same roots and origins.

Learn the terminology for creation of new words, altering existing words, and discover the people who love words, master words or govern words. View the form and structure that makes up the framework of language, how words are defined and what can be down to alter the meaning. And finally learn all about the craft of writing - discover alliteration, allegory and so much more!
