2. Linguistics
An approach to the study of
language
Linguistics is the scientific study of
language.
Linguistics is the science of
language, including the sounds,
words, and grammar rules
Established the differences
between Linguistics and
Philology in terms of: use,
form and purpose

3. Philology refers to the study of written records, the
establishment of their authenticity and correctness, and the
determination of their meaning. It deals less with oral
sources than with written sources, mainly literature
(whatever its exact meaning). It deals with the formal
aspects of writing under the topic of epigraphy and
paleography
LINGUISTICSVS PHILOLOGY

4. Classification
The field of linguistics may be divided in
terms of three dichotomies (areas):
Synchronic or Descriptive versus Diachronic
or Historical
Theoretical versus Applied Linguistics
Microlinguistics versus Macrolinguistics.

5. Synchronic or Descriptive versus
Diachronic or Historical
A synchronic or
descriptive description of
a language defines the
language as it is at a given
time;
A Diachronic o Historical
description is concerned with the
historical development of the
language and the structural
changes that have taken place in it.
E.g.
Studying the changes in
Spanish in the XV century
E.g.
Studying the changes in
Spanish from the XV until
now

6. Theoretical versus Applied Linguistics
The goal of theoretical
linguistics is the construction of
a general theory of the
structure of language or of a
general theoretical framework
for the description of languages;
The aim of applied linguistics is
the application of the findings and
techniques of the scientific study
of language to practical tasks,
especially to the elaboration of
improved methods of language
teaching
E.g.
Constructivism
E.g.
The cooperative learning
approach for Teaching English as
a foreign language
