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.
Human beings can communicate with each other probably in their mother tongue. Able to exchange knowledge, believe opinions, wishes, threats, thanks
Language is a system of communication based on words and the combination of words into sentences.
The Acculturation Model is a model of second language acquisition designed by John H. Schumann (1978) and it is based on the social-psychology of acculturation
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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Sign language is a kind of human language that do not use sounds
to express meanings. Instead , sign language are visual gestural
systems that use hand, body & facial gestures as the forms use to
represent words. Sign language uses body language. This can
involve simultaneously combining hand shapes, orientation and
movement of the hands arms or body and facial expressions to
fluidly expresses a speaker’s thought. Sign language are fully
developed languages and those who knows sign language are
capable of creating & comprehending unlimited numbers of new
sentences, just like speakers of spoken languages.
3. Sign language is commonly used for deaf communities. Because deaf
children are unable to hear speech.They do not acquire spoken
language as hearing children do.
About one in thousand babies is born deaf with a severe hearing
deficiency. It’s nearly impossible to learn spoken language by hearing
for deaf children. Normal speech depends large on auditory feed back.
Deaf persons can be taught to speak a language by reading the lips of
others. But 75% of spoken English words can not be read on the lips
accurately.
4. Some scientists credit mankind as the inventors of the first sign
language.They pointed & created signs for those things that they
couldn’t talk about. Early man probably the first investors and users
of the most basic sign language.
Some people give credit to a French man Juan Pablo de Bonet as an
inventor of sign language.
In 1620 Bonet wrote a book that contained the first known manual
system for sign language.The hand shapes in this system
represented different speech sounds. In 1817 sign language
brought to US byThomas Hopkins Gallaudet.
6. In linguistic terms, sign language are as reach and complex as any
spoken language.The study of sign language is important to
linguistics. In general it helps us understand the very nature of
human language. Every language has different characteristics.The
grammar of sign languages do not match their neighboring spoken
language because of their independent development.To understand
sign language it is necessary to study sign language. Study of sign
language is also significant for deaf education program.
