Some Misconceptions about Language
• Misunderstanding of the parts of a language – grammar, spelling,
usage, etc.,
• One language is superior than the other – one dialect is superior than
the others.
• Children learn language purely by imitation
• Written language is more prestigious than the spoken.
• The historical treatment of a language is the right treatment
• All languages can be analyzed like how one can analyze the
European Languages such as Greek and Latin
• Latin and Sanskrit are the Ideal languages
• Languages are static

STRONG AND WEAK FORMS OF WORDS
• Grammatical words help us to construct the sentence but they don't
mean anything: articles, prepositions, conjunctions, auxiliary verbs, etc.
are known as Weak Forms of Words. These words have no stress, and
so they are weakened. That weakened form is called "weak form" as
opposed to a "strong form", which is the full form of the word
pronounced with stress.
• The strong form only happens when we pronounce the words alone, or
when we emphasize them.
• Weak forms are very often pronounced with a schwa, and so are very
weak and sometimes a bit difficult to hear properly.
• I am French (strong form) I'm French (weak form) (contactions)
• But usually there is no change of spelling, only the pronunciation is
different:
• “Tell him to go” strong forms /hɪm/ /tu:/ weak form: /tel əm tə gəʊ/
• As you can see, the grammatical words "him" and "to" are unstressed
and have a weak form when pronounced inside a sentence.
