Government (linguistics)

Alright kiddo, so you know how we have people who make rules and decisions for our communities, cities, states, and countries? Those people are called the government. Now, let's talk about the language they use.

Language is like a tool that helps us communicate with each other. The government uses language in a special way, called formal language. Formal language is like wearing a suit and tie, it shows respect and seriousness. It is used in important situations, like when making laws, discussing policies, or giving speeches.

The government also has specific words and phrases that they use. These are called jargon or technical terms. Just like how you use special language when talking about your toys or games, the government has its own special language when talking about laws or policies.

Sometimes this language can be hard to understand for people who are not used to it, but that is why we have people who help break it down and explain it in simpler terms. They are called linguists, and they study language and how it is used.

So, in short, the government uses a formal language and special words to help them communicate important information, and linguists help us understand it better.
