It includes study of language and its structure, grammar, syntax and phonetics. Linguistics conventionally analyse human language by observing an interaction between sound and meaning.  \n• Historical linguistics is the study of how languages have changed over time. It is the study of the history and development of languages. It is traditionally known as philology and also called diachronic linguistics.  \n• Sociolinguistics is the study of society and language. It studies the language in relation to social factors such as differences of regional, class and occupational dialect, gender differences and bilingualism  \n• It analyses effects of society on language. Speaking, listening, writing and reading are the four language skills  \n• Theories of pedagogy increasingly identify the student as an agent and the teacher as afacilitator  \n• Phonetics is the study of the sounds of speech. It includes analysis of how sounds are made with the combination of the mouth, nose, teeth and tongue and also considering how the ears hears those sounds and can differentiate them. It is the study of speech processes. It includes the anatomy, neurology and pathology of speech. It also includes the articulation, classification and perception of speech sounds. Phonetics can be divided into three main branches and they are: Articulatory phonetics, Acoustic phonetics and Auditory phonetics  \n• Phonology: makes use of phonetics to ensure how sounds or signs are arranged in a system of language. Phonologists trace how pronunciation is influenced by the position of the sound in the word and the sounds that are in its vicinity. They also examine syllables, phrases, rhythm, tone and intonation in minute fashion.  \n• Morphology examines how individual words are formed from smaller portions of meaningful units called morphemes. It studies the words, how they are formed and their relationship to other words in the same language.  \n• Semantics is the study of meaning in language, it focuses on the relation between words, phrases and other characteristics of language. It can be applied on whole texts or to single words. The word semantics was first used by Michel Breal, a French philologist  \n• Syntax is the study of how the words, phrases, clauses and sentences are arranged and combined in particular languages.  \n• Pragmatics studies how speakers ofa language use the language to communicate and accomplish what they wish for. It encompasses speech act theory, it is subfield of linguistics and semiotics. The term pragmatics was coined in the 1930s by Charles William Morris. It was developed as a subfield of linguistics in the 1970s  \n• Hermeneutics is the theory of text interpretation especially the interpretation of biblical texts, wisdom literature and philosophical texts. The terms hermeneutics and exegesis are sometimes used interchangeably. Hermeneutics is a wider discipline that includes written, verbal and non verbal communication. Exegesis focuses primarily upon texts  \n• Homographs literally means same writing. Homographs are usually defined as words that share the same spelling, regardless of how they are pronounced. If they are pronounced the same then they are also homophones for example bark, the sound of the dog and bark the skin ofa tree. If they are pronounced differently than they are also heteronyms for example bow, the front ofa ship and bow a ranged weapon  \n• Homophones literally means same sound are usually defined as words that share the same pronunciation, regardless of how they are spelled. If they are spelled the same then they are also homographs  \n• If they are spelled differently then they are also heterographs literally meaning different writing. Homograph examples include to, too, two and there, their, they’re  \n• Polysemy are words with the same spelling and distinct but related meanings. The distinction between polysemy and homonymy is often su","cbCaig0NAMicIg18","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig0NAMicIg18","pdf",317974,"English","# Linguistics Overview\n## Historical, Sociolinguistics, and Language Skills\n# Core Subfields of Linguistics\n## Phonetics and Phonology\n## Morphology, Semantics, and Syntax\n## Pragmatics and Language Use\n# Interpretation and Word Relationships\n## Hermeneutics and Exegesis\n## Homographs, Homophones, Heteronyms, and Polysemy\n# Key Scholars and Ideas","[{\"question\":\"What is linguistics and how is it typically studied?\",\"answer\":\"Linguistics is the scientific study of language, including language structure, grammar, syntax, and phonetics.
