Welcome back to THE IAS COMPANION. Follow us on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@IASCompanion. In today’s lecture, we will explore The Nature and Structure of Human Language. Language is a complex system of sounds and symbols that allows us to communicate and think, playing a central role in human cognition. It enables us to convey abstract concepts, solve problems, and process information through structured combinations of phonemes, morphemes, and sentences. The unique properties of language—such as displacement, duality of patterning, and cultural transmission—set it apart from other forms of communication. Additionally, the concept of a critical period in language development underscores the importance of early exposure to language, as this is when the brain is most receptive to learning it. Understanding these aspects of language not only illuminates how we communicate but also provides profound insights into human cognition and social interaction. #UPSC #IASprep #civilserviceexam #IASexamination #IASaspirants #UPSCjourney #IASexam #civilservice #IASgoals #UPSC2024 #IAS2024 #civilservant #IAScoaching #aUPSCmotivation #IASmotivation #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAS #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity
