ABSTRACT
When a human society experiences the need for communication over time and space, then written language is developed. Until that time, language is used in face-to-face, here-and-now contexts, and oral/aural language suffices. But when a society is literate, written language is functional for the society, and the members of that society must learn the written form. We believe they learn it and oral/aural language in similar fashions. Written language includes two of the four language processes. Reading is the receptive and writing is the productive form.
