Tasks include completing vocabulary definitions in your own words with examples, preparing cue cards, summarising informal language features and conversational strategies, and completing a metalanguage guide. Core study sections explain metalanguage and why it is needed, then cover five language subsystems (phonology/phonetics, morphology/lexicology, syntax, semantics, discourse analysis) with related terminology.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/english-language-holiday-homework-year-12-metalanguage-and-five-subsystems/315157/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/english-language-holiday-homework-year-12-metalanguage-and-five-subsystems/315157.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Blitz","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-22","2026-09-20",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",12,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What

Metalanquage\n\nWhat is Metalanguage?  \nMeta=above(Greek)..So 'metalanguage'is literally ‘above language'-think about looking in atlanguage from the outside,and discussing it from an analytical viewpoint.  \nMetalanguage is the specialised vocabulary that is used to refer to a particular area of study(inthis case,linguistics,or the study of language itself).  \n## Why do we need a metalanquage?\n\nMetalanguage gives us the tools to deconstruct and describe language itself,so we can analyse iton different levels,such as:  \n·Words people have chosen to use&what this tells us about their thinking,background orattitudes  \n·What is being said 'between the lines'~implications present within language  \n·Choice of word order,patterns  \n## The Five Subsystems of Lanquage\n\nThe basic tool you need for this subject is the knowledge of the five subsystems of language.These are the component parts of the 'whole'system that is language.  \n1.Phonology and Phonetics—the sound system  \n2.Morphology and Lexicology—how we make and classify words and how they are linked  \n3.Syntax—making sentences  \n4.Semantics—meaning in language  \n5.Discourse Analysis—taking apart written and spoken texts  \nIn EL we are given the text to analyse,and we must bear these subsystems in mind in order tocomplete a thorough analysis.  \nWe must consider the
