Linguistics is the scientific study of language, including areas like phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. Applied linguistics [1] identifies and addresses language-related problems, [2] can be applied to all aspects of language use such as acquisition of first, second, and foreign languages, and [3] extends into practical fields including clinical linguistics, language teaching, lexicography, and computational linguistics. The key difference is that linguistics studies language itself, while applied linguistics examines the relationship between language and other domains.

2. Linguistics is a comparatively new science, or new,

Clinical Linguistics (analysis
and treatment of language
disorders)
Language Acquisition
( L1 and L2)
Teaching and Learning Foreign
Languages (developing foreign
language teaching methods)
Educational Linguistics (the use
of the mother tongue in school)

practice in organizing dictionaries;
methods and techniques for
creating dictionaries
Computational
Linguistics (the use of
computers in language
analysis and use)
Machine Translation

( computerized translation )
Speech

9. Language assessment
(to measure student
learning of languages, to
determine what a student
knows and/or can do and
how well instruction is
proceeding ).
Forensic Linguistics (the
application of linguistic
knowledge, methods and
insights to the context of law,
language, crime investigation,
trial, experts, court, evidence,
law, jurislinguistique )

10. Data Mining – (the process of processing
large volumes of data usually stored in a
database and searching for patterns and
relationships within that data. It is automatic
extraction and processing of data )
Language pedagogy
(theory of developing
teaching methods )
Psycholinguistics (the study of the
psychological factors that enable
humans to acquire, use, comprehend
and produce speech , relationship
between language and human
behavior)

11. Internet linguistics ( It
studies new language styles and
forms that have arisen under the
influence of the Internet and Short

of oral or sign language

14. Difference between Linguistics and
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.
