LOLA JACOBS ASSIGNMENTS 0618151315




AFL1501
Assignment number: 01
Year: 2023 (SEMESTER 2)




PREVIEW:
1. My own home language is Afrikaans/Zulu. A home language is the language we learn
and primarily use within our family and community. It shapes our early thoughts,
emotions, and interactions, and is a crucial part of our identity, culture, and heritage.
2. I can understand and speak various languages, including English, Afrikaans/Zulu, and
others. I learned these languages through exposure to a wide variety of texts,
conversations, and communication in these languages. My learning process is based on a
vast amount of data and context.
3. Context plays a significant role in understanding a language. This includes the situation
in which the language is used, the people using it, and the subject of the conversation.
For example, the same words can have different meanings depending on the context in
which they are used. When someone talks about a "bank," it could refer to a seat or a
financial institution, depending on the context
