• Linguistics


  The scientific study of human language. It is a science that studies the rules, systems, and principles of human language.
• Fields of linguistics


  • Micro-linguistics
  • Macro-linguistics
• Micro-linguistics


  Also called as theoretical linguistics or general linguistics, studies the nature of language - that is, what a language is all about and how it works.
• Phonology


  Studies the systems of sounds within a language or between different languages. Concerned with the systematic organization of sounds especially in spoken languages.
• Phonetics


  Studies the physical properties of sounds that is, how sounds are produced and articulated through the interaction of the different vocal organs.
• International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)


  Provided a unique but generalized symbol for every sound or phoneme in a language.
• Morphology


  Study of morphemes the smallest meaningful unit of a language that cannot be further divided. Studies different morphological structures of words, describes how words are formed, and demonstrates how word formation processes affect the meaning of words and their pronunciation.
• Syntax


  Studies the arrangement of words and phrases to form sentences. The word 'syntax' in Greek is syntaxis, which means arrangement.
• Semantics


  Deals with the study of the linguistic meaning of words and sentences.
• Branches of linguistics that focus on the study of language meaning

  • Pragmatics
  • Semantics
• Pragmatics


  Deals with meaning beyond the surface or literal level-that is, it focuses more on the intended meaning of the speaker rather than what the sentence literally means.
• Macro-linguistics


  Views language from a broader perspective. It is concerned with how a language is acquired or used and how it relates to society as a whole.
• Sociolinguistics


  Study of the effects of the different social and cultural factors on the use of language.
• Psycholinguistics


  Focuses on the interrelation between linguistic and psychological factors that enable humans to understand, acquire, and use language.
• Computational linguistics


  Studies the application of computer science in the analysis of language and speech and other linguistic studies.
• Historical linguistics


  Also known as diachronic linguistics. It deals with the study of language change or change of a group of languages over time, including phonological, grammatical, and semantic changes.
• Comparative linguistics


  Also called as comparative-historical linguistics, is a sub- field of historical linguistics that is primarily concerned with comparing languages to establish their similarities and differences especially in identifying whether or not they have a common ancestral language.

  Study involving other disciplines such as biology, linguistics, psychology, and neurolinguistics, primarily aims to explain the evolution and formation of language.
