Language and productiveness

By Diego Clemenceau

Abstract: One of the first activities created by the human being, is


communication. Hand movings, later screams and sounds, become
along the centuries in the articulated language. Like a dynamic
entity, language has evolved along human history. But this
evolution is not linear, many languages stop to use; this are death
languages. But taking them as start point, new languages
developed, taking that ancient languages as basement. Along the
time, many people has watch for the adequate use of the
language, especially in written media. But across de 20th Century,
with the development of the mass media, all languages, not only
English or Spanish, has a neglect use and abuse. Is a paradox, but
in the Information Era now we live, most of the time language is
poorly used. And this overcome media, to affect all places: schools,
government, business and companies. From our point of view, a
language improvement is necessary to be more efficient in our
work, our business, in our whole life.

Introduction. The language is something we take for granted. We


learn the “phonetic map” of our mother tongue between the six
and the 11 months of birth. That means that in this period we learn
to hear and recognize the sounds of any language. Even, A baby
exposed to different languages in this period, may learn to
recognize (and after to talk) this languages.

Past some time, around 18-20 months old, a baby has a vocabulary
of about 150-300 words. But the right pronunciation and context is
a longer process that come around 6 or 7 years old. In this period a
child can use hundreds of words and use a correct syntaxes.

During this period of childhood, every person acquire his “mental


map of language”. This means in this period configure their basic
language form. Even, this change during the social and scholar life.

When this person ends his formative period and comes to the
social and working activity, the theory is that this man or girl
counts with enough knowledge and communication capabilities to
face the world. This sounds great, but isn’t completely true.
Other formation sources. During this period, are a parallel info
source: electronic mass media. Radio, and principally TV and since
some years, Internet, are one source of knowledge that acts during
more time in a person’s life that school formation.

It’s not a secret that in the last 30 years, TV programs pass from
educative contents to explode mainly violence and sex. Currently
we hear that at twelve years, a child has seen ten thousand
murders and know about sex more than his father. And it happened
about internet too. Only in Youtube, the most seen content is music
videos, followed by comedy.

This other formation sources has a “surprise” problem: the bad


language use. Not only we talk about rudeness or vulgarity; we
mean the bad use of language: wrong use of words, poor syntaxes,
slang between others, distort the right use of language, and the
worst of this, is that the used of this media don’t note it. It
becomes the normality.

This problem go further. This poor language, this poor


communication, applied in any organization (school, government,
business or companies) obstruct the development of the need
activities.

Why? Because, by one hand, the person ways of communication


are distort; then, a message is not as effective as it may be.

By other hand, laziness to read, code and decode written


information (many prefer to search a video tutorial).

It hits in the organization productivity. Is like a dysfunctional phone:


Sometimes we can rebuild a bad message, but sometimes we can’t
understand the context.

The final ingredient. And why the “other” formation overcome


school? This is due two factors. Firstly the easily of acquisition. The
school formation needs to enforce to understand information, code
and decode to assimilate knowledge. Comparatively, audiovisual
info, is assimilated so easily, because is a live sample how
something is done, the “how to”. As Plato said, “Long and tedious
is the knowledge through theories, short and effective by
examples”.
The second is continuity. If we can ask people, we may see that
school knowledge is seen as obligation, something unhelpful and
empty. Unfortunately, most teachers drown child’s curiosity,
making then see study and knowledge acquirement as a burden,
and not as a pleasure or a gain. Conversely, TV and now internet,
are ever there: easy to see, without great effort and easy to
assimilate. They are there practically until person’s dead.

Conclusion

Is absolutely clear that a better and assertive communication is


essential in any organization, but this is obstructed by the bad use
of language in the media. Banish the use of media or change the
way they use language is utopic and unreal solution. Certainly may
be better improve language, but in this moment that’s not solution.

From our point of view, is necessary take some actions:

Beginning from school formation, show the importance of a good


language use, and clear dudes or show mistakes from media. And
over this, teach children that they can and may learn by
themselves, to don’t feel afraid by the knowledge.

In the case of workers and professionals, teach the importance of a


correct use of language and how to develop a clear and assertive
speech or written messages.
