Applied Linguistics
Linguistics is a science that studies languages and has some
subfields:
PHONETICS - it deals with the sounds of language, how they are
produced
PHONOLOGY – it deals with how the sounds are organized
MORPHOLOGY – it deals with how sounds are put together to form
words, and everything related to word formation
SYNTAX – it deals with how sentences are formed
SEMANTICS – it deals with the meaning of words, sentences, and
texts
PRAGMATICS –studies how people comprehend and produce a
communicative act or speech act in a concrete speech situation
15. Applied linguistics can be applied to all aspects
of language use.
It deals with mother, foreign, second language
acquisition.
It examined the relationship between language
and such areas as law, communication, media,
social and educational psychology and
education in general.
Domain of applied linguistics – approaches to
text, language, literacy, research, language
teaching and learning and translation.
