1. Definition of linguistic
Linguistics is the scientific, study of language. There are three aspects to this
study: language form, language meaning, and language in context.
2. BRANCHES OF LINGUISTICS Language in general and language in particular
can be studied from different points of view The field of linguistics as a whole can
be divided into several subfields according to the point of view that is adopted
3. Phonetics: In order to produce sound humans use various body parts including the
lips, tongue, teeth, pharynx and lungs. Phonetics is the term for the description and
classification of speech sounds, particularly how sounds are produced, transmitted
and received. A phoneme is the smallest unit in the sound system of a language;
for example, the t sound in the word top.
Various phonetic alphabets have been developed to represent the speech sounds
in writing through the use of symbols. Some of these symbols are identical to the
Roman letters used in many language alphabets; for example:p and b. Other
symbols are based on the Greek alphabet, such as to represent the th- sound
in thin and thought. Still others have been specially invented; e.g. for
the th- sound in the and then. The most widely used phonetic script is
the International Phonetic Alphabet.
Phonology: Phonology is the term used for the study of the speech sounds used in
a particular language. The distinctive accents that many learners of English have
are due to differences between the phonological system of their language and that
of English. From birth, and possibly before, we learn to recognize and produce the
distinctive sounds of our own language. We do not need to give any thought to how
to have the lips, tongue, teeth, etc. working together to produce the desired sounds.
The physical structures of parts of the sound system are adapted to produce
native-language sounds.
4. Grammaticalization is a process of language change by which words representing
objects and actions (i.e. nouns and verbs) transform to become grammatical
markers (affixes, prepositions, etc.). Grammaticalization is a powerful aspect of
language, as it creates new function words by a process other than deriving them
