language is most common way to communicate..following are some of the uses of language

Informative:

The language is use to communicate some sort of content that involves information.the general assumption is that , the content is true. we use language to ask a question,and make notes to ourself.for example what time is it? We use language to attempt to receive information.

Expressive:

We use language to express our ideas and emotions. An expressive use of language "intends only to vent some feeling,or to evoke some feeling from other people,"For example, if someone says "Yuck", the word is used to express dislike. The information received tells that the object is not favorable, but the word "yuck" is not necessarily used to inform.

Directive:

We use language to direct the world around us. A directive use of language aims to tell others or ourselves how to act or behave in certain situations. "Be careful" is an example of a directive use of language. You may use directive language in self talk as in "stay away from chocolate for one week."
