Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Language is the system of symbols and rules used to communicate ideas. While speech is a mode of language production, it is not the same as language itself. Communication is a broader term that encompasses all modes of conveying ideas, not just through language. Phonology specifically refers to the study of the sound system within a language, so it is not a comprehensive term for the overall system of language.
