How language and meaning are used by the writer to project informative information to the reader:
Language is one of the most significant and unique innovations humans have developed throughout
evolutionary history. Hence we see the primary purpose of language is to communicate between
individuals, but language can be used in several specific ways to get certain kinds of ideas across. Since
language allows people to express emotion, persuade others to act in a certain way and inform each
other of important information we will look at the manner in which language and meaning are used by
the author to project informative information to the audience.

Imagine that you are a first-year student in a biology course.
The goal of today’s class is to describe the topic of biology:
What is life? There are two paths to reaching that goal.
Traditional path (from general principle to specific examples)
One path—the direct route—is to review the list of characteristics
that experts agree living things share. As a
learner, you might listen to a lecture, watch a video, or read a textbook presenting this information.
You will discover, among other things, that all living things metabolize energy from their environment
to sustain their own activities. The information might also include illustrative examples. You might
learn that humans are living, as exemplified by the fact that they eat food to extract energy that they
convert into motion, heat, and chemical processes. Following this sequence—presenting the concept
and then reviewing examples—you should meet the objective of describing “What is life?”
Alternative path (from specific examples to general principle)
Now imagine a different learning journey. When you arrive to class, the instructor doesn’t tell you
what experts know. Rather, you start with examples. You are placed in a group and are given a list of
five organisms: a donkey, a moss, an E. coli bacterium, an alga, and a cactus. You are told that these
things are alive. You are also provided a list of three things and are told that they are not alive: fire,
wind, and a rock. Your task is to compare and contrast the items in each list and infer the
characteristics that are common and unique to all of the living things.
Your group makes hypotheses. What about the ability to extract elements from the environment
