Profile
Linguistics is widely defined as the scientific study of language. But what does it mean to study a language? Human languages are complex, consisting of a multitude of interrelated layers basically matching those areas of knowledge any speaker or learner of a language has to acquire: pronouncing speech sounds, building words, adding grammatical endings, combining words to larger units, understanding both the literal meaning of words and larger units and how a given situation may influence the meaning and the use of language.These areas of knowledge are the focus of the core disciplines of linguistics: phonetics & phonology, word-formation & morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. In-depth familiarity with these major subfields of linguistics provides the starting point for venturing into one of the many specialized branches or sub-disciplines of linguistics, like corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, sociolinguistics, language acquisition, language variation and change, historical linguistics, dialectology, language contact, or lexicography, to name but a few.
