1. Linguistics Definition
linguistics is the scientific study of language or the study of human language.
2. What linguistics is not
Linguistics is not about learning as many languages as you can;
there are many linguists who can only speak one or two languages.
There isn't a requirement to learn multiple languages.
Now that’s out of the way, let’s reply to the question of “What is Linguistics?”
3. what is linguistics?
Linguistics aims to understand how the language faculty of the mind works and to describe how language itself works.
Linguists observe patterns within a language and across languages to try to understand what principles drive our brains’ comprehension and production of language.
4. Language System
A language-system is a social Phenomenon, or institution, which is abstract in that it has no physical existence, but which is actualized on particular occasions in the language-behavior of individual members of the language-community.
5. Linguistics Fields
Linguistics spans a large number of subfields, each dealing with a different part of the language faculty.
Phonetics: the study of the acoustics and sounds of languages.
Phonology: the study of sound systems and how they pattern.
Syntax: the study of sentence structure.
Semantics: the study of meaning and formalizing it into a logical form.
5. Psycholinguistics: the study of how language manifests in the brain.
Psycholinguists carry out experiments to observe the reaction of the brain’s different areas to different stimuli, and they’ll try to relate the findings to the more abstract linguistic theories.
6. Sociolinguistics: the study of the complex relationship between language and society.
Sociolinguists might look at attitudes toward different linguistic features and its relation to class, race, sex, etc.
7. Computational linguistics - the study of applying computer science to linguistics.
Computational linguists might use programming to model linguistic structure or change or for practical applications.
8. Historical linguistics: the study of how languages change across time
Historical linguists may work in language specific areas, carrying out what is called reconstruction.
9. Applied linguistics: the study of applying linguistics to real-life situations.
An applied linguistic will likely work in fields such as such as language education, translation, or language policy
10. Macrolinguistics: concerned with everything that pertains in any way at all to language and languages.
11. Pragmatics: is the study of the speaker meaning (i.e. what the speaker intends to say).
It is considered as the “wastebasket”, which means everything that you cannot be understood classified within pragmatics.
7. Design Features of Human Language
Arbitrariness: there is often a recognizable link between the actual signs and the message an animals wishes to convey.
In human language, the reverse is true. In the great majority of cases, there is no link between the signal and the message.

1.1 Language 1.1.1 Language and You; Language and Us
Language is an essential and ubiquitous component of our lives. To see that this statement is true for yourself, take a moment to think about your day. Cast your mind back to when you first awoke. What were your thoughts and how were they expressed?
Trace the day in your mind and try to count how many people you spoke with, even if it was just a quick “hi†or “thank you.†Did you listen to a lecture? Watch television? Talk on the phone? Make an appointment? Sing a song? All of these activities centrally involve language. Now think about what you read today. Perhaps a newspaper, pages on the Internet, email, advertisements, labels, signs, home- work assignments? Now move on to thought itself. What thoughts and ideas have passed through your mind? Have you made explicit plans, imagined conversations, debated with yourself? If you are like most people, this brief exer- cise has revealed that language is both within and around you, a constant part of your internal and external existence. Language is the primary medium which you use to interact with people and institutions in our society. Your particular use of language is also a reflection of who you are as an individual; all of us use language as a means to build and portray our identities in the world around us. We also use language to shape and interpret the great and small experi- ences of our lives.
Think about the broader world in which we live. Language is the principal means by which societies are constructed and cultures are developed. Think of the size of our soci- ety’s great libraries, and how the majority of the volumes in those vast collections (14.6 million volumes in the Harvard University Library alone) are language in its written form. The intellectual achievements of humankind are essentially embodied in language. Not only is this true of the written works that formally encapsulate our knowledge, but it is also true of the huge body of indigenous knowledge held by the speakers of thousands of languages across the globe, from the Brazilian Amazon to the Mongolian steppes. Some may argue that music and art are non-linguistic, but note that they often incorporate lan- guage, as with lyrics. Even works that do not contain language are interpreted and under- stood through verbal thought, discussion, and critical analysis. Similarly, mathematics could be argued to be non-linguistic, but again language is used to teach, understand, and interpret it.
Beyond the modern world, consider that language has been used by humans for at least 30,000 years, by thousands of groups across the globe, wherever humans have ven- tured. Speakers of each generation endow their language with their own unique mark, their own contribution, changing it in myriad subtle ways. As language passes from

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

existence,
but which is actualized on particular occasions in
the language-behaviour of individual members of
the language-community.
Language System
6.
Linguistics spans a large number of subfields, each dealing
with a different part of the language faculty.
1. Phonetics: the study of the acoustics and sounds of
languages.
2. Phonology: the study of sound systems and how they
pattern.
3. Syntax: the study of sentence structure.
4. Semantics: the study of meaning and formalizing it into a
logical form.
Linguistics Fields
7.
Psycholinguists carry out experiments to observe the
reaction of the brain’s different areas to different stimuli,
and they’ll try to relate the findings to the more abstract
linguistic theories.
6. Sociolinguistics: the study of the complex relationship
between language and society.
Sociolinguists might look at attitudes toward different
linguistic features and its relation to class, race, sex, etc.
5. Psycholinguistics: the study of how language manifests in
the brain.
8.
Computational linguists might use programming to model
linguistic structure or change or for practical applications.
8. Historical linguistics: the study of how languages change
across time
Historical linguists may work in language specific areas,
carrying out what is called reconstruction.
9. Applied linguistics: the study of applying linguistics to
real-life situations.
An applied linguistic will likely work in fields such as such
as language education, translation, or language policy

11. Pragmatics: is the study of the speaker meaning
(i.e. what the speaker intends to say).
It is considered as the “wastebasket”, which means
everything that you cannot be understood classified
within pragmatics.
10. Macrolinguistics: concerned with everything that
pertains in any way at all to language and languages.

1. Arbitrariness: there is often a recognizable link between
the actual signs and the message an animals wishes to
convey.
In human language, the reverse is true. In the great majority
of cases, there is no link between the signal and the
message.
For instance: there is no connection between the word
“elephant” and the animal it symbolizes.

2. Duality : is meant the property of having 2 levels of structure,
such that units of the primary level are composed of elements of the
secondary level and each of the 2 levels has its own principles of
organization.
The sounds do not of themselves convey meaning.
Their sole function is to combine with one another to make units which
do have a particular meaning.
It because the smaller, lower-level elements are meaningless whereas
larger, higher-level units have a distinct meaning.
The elements are described as secondary and the units as primary

3. Discreteness: the sounds used in language are meaningfully
distinct.
Each sound is treated as a discrete unit, and the occurrence of
one sound instead of the other leads to a misuse of language.
For example, /p/ and /b/ sounds in a sentence like: “can I
park here” the use of the sound /b/ instead of /p/ is a wrong
use of language
Design Features of
Human Language
15.
4. The productivity: the capacity of language users to produce
and understand an indefinitely large number of sentences; also
referred to as creativity.
New utterances are continually being created, and the
language users manipulate their linguistic resources to
produce novel expressions and 2 sentences. A child, for
instance, learning a language is active in forming and
producing utterances which she or he has never heard
before
Design Features of
Human Language

5. Cultural Transmission: Language is passed from one
generation to another not genetically or biologically but
through a process of teaching and learning,
for example, a Chinese child born in England is likely to inherit
some physical characteristics from his parents genetically but
develops not necessarily the Chinese language.
This child will learn and use the English language which
he acquires part of his culture.
Design Features of
Human Language

6. Displacement: is the ability to use language to talk about
things and events not present in the immediate environment
(such as past and future time reference).
It enables us to describe things and places which we are not
even so sure of their existence.
The meaning of animal signals, by contrast, is restricted to
the setting in which they are used.
