writing is only a representation of speaking什么意思
When we learn our own (native) language,learning to speak comes before learning to write.In fact,we learn to speak almost automatically.It is natural.But somebody must teach us to write.It is not natural.In one sense,speaking is the "real" language and writing is only a representation of speaking.However,for centuries,people have regarded writing as superior to speaking.It has a higher "status".This is perhaps because in the past almost everybody could speak but only a few people could write.But as we shall see,modern influences are changing the relative status of speaking and writing.
