Summary
Language can be defined as a socially shared combination of those symbols and rules governed combinations of those symbols. Language can be defined as a socially acceptable code or conventional system to convey concepts through the use of the symbols desired and the combination of symbols that are governed by the provisions (Owen, in Stiawan, 2006). It means that communication is the act of expressing intended meanings from one entity or group to another by means of the use of a symbol with semiotic rules that are understood concurrently. By using the language, they either perform something or make others do something such as thanking, commanding, promising, and so on (Marquez Reiter, 2000)
