Language is a multifaceted system made up of symbols and signals that a group has agreed to use to express feelings, thoughts, knowledge, and experiences (Owens, 2012). Rules are used in the complex system and yet language has evolved and is still evolving in different subgroups of people. To understand the structure of language there are five basic pieces of the puzzle, which include phonology, syntax, semantics, morphology and pragmatics. Each of these components plays a crucial role in the construction and functionality of the language as a whole. The first component of language to understand is syntax, which involves rules that govern the order of words, the organization of sentences, and the connection between words (Owens, 2012). . Syntax allows a person to recognize what is a complete sentence and what is not. It guides us by providing what is required in the equation to create an understandable sentence (Owens, 2012). For example, a sentence must include a verb phrase and a noun phrase. The next sentence, “The girl planted the seeds,” follows the rules of syntax and is therefore recognized as the correct sentence. The rules provided allow people to recognize a sentence like "The girl planted the seeds" as incorrect. Another component of language is morphology, which deals with the internal organization of words (Owens, 2012). they are made up of morphemes and morphemes are the smallest grammatical units of meaning. Examples of morphemes include basic words, such as “dog,” “toy,” “love,” and “cat.” When you break one of these words apart, they either mean nothing or the meaning of the split letters means something completely different than when they are combined. This can be seen by breaking down the word “dog”. Bound mo... in the center of the paper...", and allow you to respond appropriately. It involves understanding the speaker's intent and knowing the difference between different types of sentences; declarative, question, etc. It also involves the audience with whom we communicate, as we speak differently with our parents than we do with our friends (Owens, 2012). Each of the five components of language is complex and important in the grand scheme of language it intertwines with each other and makes the product of language and communication possible. It is possible to argue that humans are born with the hereditary trait to communicate, but it is structure, understanding and common agreement that make language and communication possible..
