Comparative Study of the Functions of Common Languages and Artistic Languages

【Abstract】Ordinary language refers to a regular or normative language， just like the language we use in everyday communication. Ordinary written report documents are also in the category of ordinary languages. Ordinary language requires us to express things in an objective， accurate， detailed， and specific language. Artistic language refers to the variation of language. The so-called change does not mean that the language changes in grammar and semantics. In fact， this change is illogical and irregular. This paper， from the perspective of linguistics， dialectically compares the functional comparison between ordinary language and artistic language.

【Key words】Common language; artistic language; function; compare; research

1. The definition between common language and artistic language

1.1 Common language

Ordinary language is also called common language and normative language. The common language is based on the rational scientific spirit， which is mainly manifested in the rational understanding and expression of human beings to the outside world. In everyday life， it usually involves speech， vocabulary and some basic grammar materials.

1.2 Artistic language

Artistic language is the other extreme of human language. It is a mutated language， and its superior performance is actually an unreasonable filling. Due to the influence of irrational emotional factors， artistic language has always tried to break the closed language framework and advocated to grasp and express the world in a lively way. Artistic language is often exquisite and profound， rhyming， pursuing the uncertainty of expressing meaning， trying to make the descriptive object produce image function， thus expressing unpredictable emotions.

2. Comparison of the functions of common language and artistic language

Common language and artistic language are two language forms， and the differences between the two are more complicated. This paper compares the functions of ordinary language and artistic language from three aspects： language method， language thinking and language logic.

2.1  Different language methods

The so-called “method” refers to the grammar that must be followed when language units and language use are combined. This requires that the expression of objective language in ordinary language must be accurate and objective. There must be no personal emotional factors， and it cannot be affected by time， place， and tone of context. The disciplines of applied linguistics and sociology all study the social nature of language from different angles， but there are some different views on the definition of ordinary language. Some scholars believe that ordinary language should focus on the language itself， and art language should focus on the role of social factors in studying language variation. In other words， artistic language can be recreated， which makes artistic language more flexible and more vivid than ordinary language.

2.2 Different language thinking

From the perspective of the relationship between language and thinking， the creation of rational thinking should satisfy the rational grammatical norms of ordinary languages， while the creation of emotional thinking rather than rational thinking should conform to the emotional requirements of artistic language. For example， various research reports， textbooks， or other profound and profound scientific works are basically structured in various symbolic sequences to transfer the author’s experience to the objective world， convenient for mass communication.

Therefore， the characteristics of ordinary language are accuracy and objectivity， and its language thinking is also a perceptual rational thinking， which has certain scientific nature. Artistic language requires that information feedback conforms to the true beauty and belongs to the category of irrational thinking. Artistic language pays special attention to the combination of images or expressions and the reproduction of artistic imagination in appearance.

2.3 Different language logic

Ordinary languages follow common sense logic， while artistic language follows emotional logic. The object information obtained by the subject of the ordinary language will be reasonably reflected by the language subject itself. The whole language expression process of artistic language must follow emotional logic and reveal the law of emotional thinking. Artistic language is essentially the integration of the subject of speech and the mechanism of emotional psychology. It achieves the unity of common psychological and emotional resonance.
