CHAPTER II THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK
A. Language

society to cooperate, communicate, and identify their self.

A language touches every part of our lives; it gives words to our thoughts, voice to our ideas, and
expression to our feelings.
2
All languages change through time, but how they change, what drives these changes, and what kinds of changes we can expect are not obvious. By
comparing different languages, different dialects of the same language, or different historical stages of particular language, we can discover the history of
languages and also language groups or families.

According to Geoffrey Leech, language has many functions and there are five important communicative functions of language:

1. Informational function: “language is used for giving information to another people.”
2. Expressive function: “language can be used to express our feelings.” 3. Directive function: “language can be aimed to influence the other
behaviors or attitudes.”
