First, spoken language is a language which is directly spoken by the speaker, like interview, dialogue, etc. Second, written language is a kind of indirect communication by writing texts, like magazine, journal, letter, and etc. Accordingly, language and communication are two things that cannot be separated. Communication will happen if people use language to communicate with others. 1 2 Communication means a process of exchanging information between one person to another person, through a symbol, a sign or attitude. In communication there is information, but there is also a process to give goods and services, and to convey information, like gossips, sharing, etc. The result of communication is a discourse.
