language:a body of words and the systems for their use common to a people who are of the same community or nation, the same geographical area, or the same cultural tradition.
How you use it: People use language in all different types of ways. Examples of language can be formal, slang, text etc….
Slang is known as the use of highly informal words and expressions that are not considered standard in the persons language.
Text has been a big change to the world of language… words like brb -be right back, lol- laugh out loud, omg- oh my god & g2g- got to go, are now commonly used in the way people communicate, especially over technology.

T.V shows are a way in which different type of langauge use can be shown.
For example.. take the show.. summer heights high..
in this you have the character of Mr. G, who uses everyday langauage which is more formal than the langauge which is used by the students.
The you have Ja’mie and Jonah, who use langauge which is pretty much in between the formal and slang types.
