1st Meeting – July, 7th 2025

English has evolved into a global language, international language, and lingua franca, widely used
across the world. Its rise to global prominence is rooted in several key historical events. During the 18th
and 19th centuries, British colonial expansion spread English across continents, embedding it in the
linguistic fabric of many regions. The Industrial Revolution further elevated Britain’s global influence,
making English essential in trade and commerce. Following the World Wars, the United States emerged
as a dominant global power, and its political, economic, cultural, and technological influence solidified
English as the language of diplomacy and international affairs. In the digital age, English dominates the
internet, software, and social media platforms like Google, Facebook, and Twitter, reinforcing its global
status. Today, English is widely used in business, media, and diplomacy, and serves as an official
language of major international organizations such as the United Nations, the European Union, and
NATO.
A person’s mother tongue, or first language, is typically the language they acquire earliest in life,
often from their mother. However, in today’s globalized world, this concept has broadened. Many
children grow up in multilingual households and may acquire more than one language as their first
language. The surrounding social environment also plays a crucial role. For example, immigrant children
often adopt the dominant language of their new country, sometimes at the expense of their parents’ native
language. In some cases, parents may encourage their children to adopt a more prestigious language, such
as Sinhalese families raising their children to speak English. Thus, a first language can be understood as
the language (or languages) a child acquires early and continues to use regularly in daily life, both at
home and in school.
In many regions, children acquire a second language through formal education. This second
language is often a regional or international language, chosen based on its relevance to the country’s
historical, geographical, or socio-economic context. For instance, French is taught in Morocco due to
colonial ties. A second language is typically used within the learner’s society and has practical value.
However, in bilingual or minority communities—such as Tamils in Sri Lanka or France—children may
adopt the dominant language of their environment as their second language. Importantly, a second
language is not simply the next language learned after the first; it is the language a person knows best
after their mother tongue and uses regularly in meaningful contexts. Unlike foreign languages, second
languages are defined more by their social function than by the order in which they are learned.
 A foreign language is one that is not used in a person’s everyday life or immediate social
environment. People often learn foreign languages out of personal interest or due to academic or
professional requirements. The process of learning a foreign language varies depending on the learner’s
age, goals, abilities, the teacher’s background, and the learning environment. While first language
learners are typically young children and second language learners are often children or teenagers, foreign
language learners span all age groups, making them the most diverse. These learners can also be
categorized by context: those in endolingual settings (where the language is used in daily life) and those
in exolingual settings (where it is only used in the classroom). This distinction is especially relevant in
foreign language learning, as many learners do not have access to the language outside of formal
education.
In linguistics, meaning is explored through several lenses. Semantics is the study of the “toolkit” for
meaning—how vocabulary and sentence structures encode knowledge. Pragmatics focuses on how these
tools are used in real communication, considering context and world knowledge. Denotative meaning
refers to the literal, dictionary definition of a word, while connotative meaning includes the emotional,
cultural, or associative meanings that go beyond the literal sense. Linguistic meaning encompasses both
denotative and connotative meanings, as well as how meaning is constructed through syntax, semantics,
and pragmatics. Speaker’s meaning is what the speaker intends to convey in a specific context, which
may differ from the literal words used—for example, saying “It’s cold in here” might imply a request to
close the window. Similarly, writer’s meaning refers to the intended message or idea the writer aims to
communicate, often involving implied meanings, tone, and context.
2nd Meeting – July, 9th 2025
In linguistic analysis, meaning is typically divided into two major types: lexical meaning and
grammatical meaning. Lexical meaning refers to the specific, conceptual content that a word conveys
independently of its grammatical use. This is the meaning stored in our mental lexicon or found in a
dictionary—essentially, what a word “means” in isolation. Words that carry lexical meaning include
open-class words such as nouns (e.g. book, ocean), verbs (e.g. run, paint), adjectives (e.g. blue, hungry),
and adverbs (e.g. quickly, silently). These words provide the core substance of communication because
they point to ideas, objects, actions, and qualities. For example, the word sun denotes the star at the center
of our solar system, while the word freedom expresses an abstract concept associated with autonomy and
choice. Lexical meanings are relatively stable across different grammatical contexts, although cultural
and situational nuances may affect interpretation over time.
On the other hand, grammatical meaning refers to the abstract, relational information that arises from
the structure of language. It is expressed through function words—such as prepositions (in, on, under),
articles (the, a), conjunctions (and, but), auxiliary verbs (is, was, has)—and morphological features like
tense, number, case, gender, and aspect. While grammatical elements do not typically hold standalone
meaning, they shape how lexical items are organized and interpreted. For instance, the difference between
cat and cats signals a grammatical meaning of plurality, while walk versus walked denotes tense.
Grammatical meaning allows us to understand relationships between ideas—such as who is doing what to
whom, when, and in what manner—thus enabling coherent, rule-governed communication. Without it,
sentences would lose logical form and clarity, even if the lexical items were present.
Together, lexical and grammatical meanings function like two interdependent layers of meaning.
Lexical items provide the “what” of a message—the core content—while grammatical structures provide
the “how,” organizing that content into patterns the listener or reader can decode. Consider the sentence:
The children are playing in the garden. The words children, playing, and garden hold lexical meaning,
referring to specific people, an action, and a location. Meanwhile, the, are, and in serve grammatical roles,
helping to indicate definiteness, continuous tense, and spatial relationship. Removing these grammatical
elements would cause ambiguity or confusion, even if the key vocabulary remained intact. Thus, both
layers are vital to constructing meaning that is both rich and communicable.
A. The Status of English Language
1. As global language/international language/lingua franca
Global language relates to how English dominates and spreads to around the
world/globally. The ascent of English to its global status can be traced back to several key
historical events:
a. Colonial Expansion: The British Empire’s extensive reach during the 18th and 19th
centuries laid the groundwork for English as a global language. English was imposed in
colonies, influencing local languages and creating English-speaking populations
worldwide.
b. Industrial Revolution: The Industrial Revolution propelled Britain into an economic
powerhouse, leading to the adoption of English in trade and commerce, particularly in
burgeoning global markets.
c. World Wars and Global Politics: After both World Wars, the United States emerged as a
dominant global power. American influence in politics, economy, culture, and technology
further solidified the use of English in international relations and global business.
d. Technology and the Internet: The rise of the internet and digital communication has further
amplified the role of English, making it the primary language of online content, software,
and social media. The dominance of English-language platforms like Google, Facebook,
and Twitter has entrenched its global status.
English is widely used in business life, media, and diplomacy, in addition to being an
official language of the United Nations, European Union, and NATO.
2. As mother tongue
A learner’s first language is often what we commonly refer to as their “mother tongue,”
typically the language spoken by their mother. However, in today’s globalized society, this
definition has broadened. With increasing international migration and intercultural marriages,
many children grow up in multilingual households. In such environments, children might adopt
either parent’s native language as their first language—or even consider both as their first
languages.
Beyond the home, the broader social environment also plays a key role. For instance,
immigrant children often adopt the language of their new country as their primary language,
sometimes at the expense of their parents’ native tongues. In other cases, parents may view their
own language as less valuable compared to a more dominant or prestigious language, and thus
 encourage their children to adopt the latter as their first language—such as Sinhalese children
being raised to speak English.
Ultimately, the term “first language” can be understood as the language (or languages) a
child acquires earliest and continues to use—albeit to varying degrees—throughout life. Many
people learn their first language both at home and in school, and use it regularly in everyday
communication within their community.
3. As second language
In many parts of the world, children acquire their second language through formal
education. This second language is often either another regional language (like French for
English-speaking Canadians) or a widely used international language (such as French in
Morocco), chosen based on its importance in the learner’s country. The selection of a second
language is often influenced by historical, geographical, or socio-economic connections
between the learner’s country and the country where the language originates. When a second
language is nationally recognized, learners typically have opportunities to use it within their
own society.
However, in some cases, a learner’s second language is shaped more by their family or
social environment than by national policy. For example, children from bilingual or minority
communities (like Tamils in Sri Lanka) or immigrant families (like Tamils in France) may adopt
the dominant language of their region or host country as their second language. Even in these
situations, the second language tends to be closely tied to the learner’s daily life and is used
regularly.
This raises the question: can any language learned after the first be considered a second
language? According to the author, not necessarily. A second language is not just the next
language learned chronologically—it is the language a person knows best after their first
language. It usually holds practical value in the learner’s family or social life. Simply choosing
to learn a new language doesn’t automatically make it a true second language, especially if it
lacks real-world use or social relevance. Unlike first or foreign languages, a second language is
often defined more by its social function than by personal choice.
4. As foreign language
A foreign language is usually a language that has no direct connection to a person’s
everyday life or social surroundings. People often choose to learn a foreign language based on
personal interest, unless they are required to learn it for school or work.
Just like first and second language education, learning a foreign language can take many
different forms. This variation depends on factors like the learner’s age, goals, and abilities; the
 teacher’s background (whether they are native or non-native speakers); and the learning
environment—whether it supports language learning or not.
Even though each type of language learning is diverse, we can still identify typical
groups of learners. Most first language learners are young children. Second language learners
are usually children or teenagers. In contrast, foreign language learners are most often adults.
While it’s true that people continue learning their first or second languages as they grow older,
society doesn’t usually consider adults as formal learners of their first language. And although
some adults do continue learning their second language, this is less common. Interestingly,
foreign language learners include not only adults but also many children and teenagers, making
this group the most diverse in terms of age.
Foreign language learners can also be grouped based on where they learn. Some study in
places where the target language is used in daily life—this is called an endolingual context.
Others learn in places where the language is only used in the classroom—this is called an
exolingual context. While this distinction can apply to first and second language learning too,
it’s especially important in foreign language learning. Most first and second language learners
are in environments where the language is used at least partially outside the classroom. But
foreign language learners can be found in both types of settings.
B. About Meanings
1. Semantics
Semantic is the study of the “toolkit” for meaning: knowledge encoded in the vocabulary of the
language and in its patterns for building more elaborate meanings up to the level of sentence
meanings.
2. Pragmatics
Pragmatics is concerned with the use of these tools in meaningful communication. It is also
about the interaction of semantic knowledge with our knowledge of the world, taking into
account context of use.
3. Denotative
The literal, dictionary definition of a word—its objective, explicit meaning without emotional or
cultural associations.
4. Connotative
The emotional, cultural, or associative meaning that a word carries beyond its denotation.
5. Linguistics Meaning
 The meaning of a word, phrase, or sentence as analyzed within the field of linguistics. It
includes both denotative and connotative meanings, as well as how meaning is constructed
through syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
6. Speakers Meaning
What the speaker intends to communicate in a specific context, which may differ from the literal
meaning of the words used. If someone says “It’s cold in here” while looking at an open
window, the speaker might mean “Please close the window.” It’s about intended meaning, often
relying on context, tone, and shared knowledge.
7. Writers Meaning
The intended message or idea that the writer wants to convey through their text. Like speaker’s
meaning, it may involve implied meanings, tone, and context.
