3. Language Structure and Meaning. Words
and sentences have parts that combine in
patterns, exhibiting the grammar of
the language. Phonology is the study of
patterns in sound or gesture. Syntax and
Semantics involve studying patterns in
sentence structure, from the vantages of
form and meaning, respectively.

4. These basic elements are called
morphemes, and the study of how they
are combined in words is morphology.
The study of how words are organised
into phrases, clauses and sentences is
usually referred to as syntax. A longer
stretch of language is known as
discourse, the study of its structure as
discourse analysis.
