{{linguistics}}
'''Linguistics''' is the scientific study of human
language, and someone who engages in this study is called a '''
linguist'''.
Dichotomies and language
The study of linguistics can be thought of along three major axes, the endpoints of which are described below:
* '''Synchronic''' vs '''Diachronic''':
descriptive linguistics Synchronic (descriptive) linguistics is concerned with the form of a language at a given moment;
historical linguistics diachronic (historical) linguistics studies the changes that occurred in a language or family of languages over time.
* '''Theoretical''' vs '''Applied''':
Theoretical linguistics Theoretical (or general) linguistics is concerned with frameworks for describing individual languages and theories about universal aspects of language;
applied linguistics applies these theories to other fields.
* '''Contextual''' vs '''Autonomous''': Contextual linguistics is concerned with how language fits into the world: its social function, how it is acquired, how it is produced and perceived. Autonomous or Independent linguistics considers languages for their own sake, aside from the externalities related to a language. Sometimes the terms '''macrolinguistics''' and '''microlinguistics''' are used for the corresponding terms of this dichotomy.
Given these dichotomies, scholars who call themselves simply ''linguists'' or ''theoretical linguists'', with no further qualification, tend to be concerned with autonomous, theoretical synchronic linguistics, which is acknowledged as the core of the discipline.
Linguistic
research inquiry is pursued by a wide variety of specialists, who may not all be in harmonious agreement; as
Russ Rymer flamboyantly puts it:
"Linguistics is arguably the most hotly contested property in the academic realm. It is soaked with the blood of poets, theology theologians, philosophers, philology philologists, psychologists, biologists, and neurology neurologists, along with whatever blood can be got out of grammarians." Linguistics#References 1
Levels of theoretical linguistics
Theoretical linguistics is often divided into a number of separate areas, to be studied more or less independently. The following divisions are currently widely acknowledged:
*
Phonetics, the study of the sounds of human language
*
Phonology (or phonemics), the study of patterns of a language's basic sounds
*
Morphology (linguistics) Morphology, the study of the internal structure of words
*
Syntax, the study of how words combine to form grammatical sentences
*
Semantics, the study of the meaning of words (
lexical semantics), and how these combine to form the meanings of sentences
*
Pragmatics, the study of how utterances are used (literally, figuratively, or otherwise) in communicative acts
*
Historical linguistics, the study of languages whose historical relations are recognizable through similarities in vocabulary, word formation, and syntax
*
Linguistic typology, the study of the grammatical features that are employed across all human languages
*
Stylistics (linguistics) Stylistics, the study of style in languages
*
Discourse analysis, the study of sentences organised into texts
The independent significance of each of these areas is not universally acknowledged, however, and nearly all linguists would agree that the divisions overlap considerably. Nevertheless, each area has core concepts that foster significant scholarly inquiry and research.
Diachronic linguistics
Whereas the core of theoretical linguistics is concerned with studying languages at a particular point in time (usually the present), diachronic linguistics examines how language changes through time, sometimes over centuries. Historical linguistics enjoys both a rich history (the study of linguistics grew out of historical linguistics) and a strong theoretical foundation for the study of
language change.
In universities in the United States, the non-historic perspective seems to have the upper hand. Many introductory linguistics classes, for example, cover historical linguistics only cursorily. The shift in focus to a non-historic perspective started with
Ferdinand de Saussure Saussure and became predominant with
Noam Chomsky.
Explicitly historical perspectives include
historical-comparative linguistics and
etymology.
Applied linguistics
Whereas theoretical linguistics is concerned with finding and
descriptive linguistics describing generalities both within particular languages and among all languages,
applied linguistics takes the results of those findings and ''applies'' them to other areas. Often ''applied linguistics'' refers to the use of linguistic research in language teaching, but results of linguistic research are used in many other areas, as well.
Many areas of applied linguistics today involve the explicit use of computers.
Speech synthesis and
speech recognition use phonetic and phonemic knowledge to provide voice interfaces to computers. Applications of
computational linguistics in
machine translation,
computer-assisted translation, and
natural language processing are extremely fruitful areas of applied linguistics which have come to the forefront in recent years with increasing computing power. Their influence has had a great effect on theories of syntax and semantics, as modelling syntactic and semantic theories on computers constrains the theories to
Computability theory (computation) computable operations and provides a more rigorous mathematical basis.
Contextual linguistics
Contextual linguistics is where the discipline of linguistics interacts with other academic disciplines. Whereas in core theoretical linguistics language is studied for its own sake, the interdisciplinary areas of linguistics consider how language interacts with the rest of the world.
Sociolinguistics,
anthropological linguistics, and
linguistic anthropology are social sciences that consider the interactions between linguistics and society as a whole.
Critical discourse analysis is where
rhetoric and
philosophy interact with linguistics.
Psycholinguistics and
neurolinguistics combine
medical science and linguistics.
Other cross-disciplinary areas of linguistics include
language acquisition,
evolutionary linguistics,
computational linguistics and
cognitive science.
Individual speakers, language communities, and linguistic universals
Linguists also differ in how broad a group of language users they study. Some analyze a given speaker's language (idiolect) or
language development in great detail. Some study language pertaining to a whole
speech community, such as the
dialect of those who speak
African American Vernacular English African American Vernacular English ("
Ebonics"). Others try to find
linguistic universals that apply, at some abstract level, to all users of
human language everywhere. This latter project has been most famously advocated by
Noam Chomsky, and it interests many people in
psycholinguistics and
cognitive science. It is thought that universals in human language may reveal important insight into universals about the
human mind.
Prescription and description
:''Main article:
Prescription and description.''
Research currently performed under the name "linguistics" is purely ''descriptive''; linguists seek to clarify the nature of language without passing value judgments or trying to chart future language directions. Nonetheless, there are many professionals and amateurs who also ''prescribe'' rules of language, holding a particular standard out for all to follow.
Prescriptivists tend to be found among the ranks of language educators and journalists, and not in the actual academic discipline of linguistics. They hold clear notions of what is right and wrong, and may assign themselves the responsibility of ensuring that the next generation use the variety of language that is most likely to lead to "success," often the
acrolect of a particular language. The reasons for their intolerance of "incorrect usage" may include distrust of
neologisms, connections to socially-disapproved dialects (i.e.,
basilects), or simple conflicts with pet theories. An extreme version of prescriptivism can be found among censors, whose personal mission is to eradicate words and structures which they consider to be destructive to society.
Descriptivists, on the other hand, do not accept the prescriptivists' notion of "incorrect usage." They might describe the usages the other has in mind simply as "idiosyncratic," or they may discover a regularity (a ''rule'') that the usage in question follows (in contrast to the common prescriptive assumption that "bad" usage is unsystematic). Within the context of
fieldwork,
descriptive linguistics refers to the study of language using a descriptivist approach. Descriptivist methodology more closely resembles scientific methodology in other disciplines.
Speech versus writing
Most contemporary linguists work under the assumption that
spoken language is more fundamental, and thus more important to study than
written language. Reasons for this perspective include:
* Speech appears to be a human universal, whereas there have been many
cultures and speech communities that lack written communication;
* People learn to speak and process spoken languages more easily and much earlier than writing;
* A number of
cognitive science cognitive scientists argue that the
brain has an innate "
language module",
knowledge of which is thought to come more from studying speech than writing, particularly since language as speech is held to be an evolutionary adaptation, whereas writing is a comparatively recent invention.
Of course, linguists agree that the study of written language can be worthwhile and valuable. For linguistic research that uses the methods of
corpus linguistics and
computational linguistics, written language is often much more convenient for processing large amounts of linguistic data. Large corpora of spoken language are difficult to create and hard to find, and are typically
transcription (linguistics) transcribed and written.
The study of
writing systems themselves is in any case considered a branch of linguistics.

Important linguists and schools of thought
{{Main|History of linguistics}}
In
ancient India, the
Sanskrit grammarian {{Unicode.html">PÄ?ṇini}} (c.
520.html">520 BC|520–
460 BC) is the earliest known linguist and is often acknowledged as the founder of linguistics. He is most famous for formulating the 3,959 rules of Sanskrit
morphology in the text ''{{Unicode.html">Aá¹£á¹Ä?dhyÄ?yÄ«}}'', which is still in use today. {{Unicode
PÄ?ṇini's}}_grammar of Sanskrit is highly systematised and technical. Inherent in its analytic approach are the concepts of the
phoneme, the
morpheme and the
root, only recognized by Western linguists some two millennia later. His rules fully describe Sanskrit morphology without any redundance. A consequence of his grammar's focus on brevity is its highly unintuitive structure, reminiscent of contemporary "machine language" (as opposed to "human readable" programming languages). His sophisticated logical rules and technique have been widely influential in ancient and modern linguistics.
The
South Indian linguist
TolkÄ?ppiyar (c.
3rd century BC) wrote the ''
TolkÄ?ppiyam'', the grammar of
Tamil, which is also still in use today.
Bhartrihari (c.
450–
510) was another important author on
Indic linguistic theory. He theorized the act of speech as being made up of three stages: conceptualization by the speaker; performance of speaking; and comprehension by the interpreter. The work of {{Unicode|PÄ?ṇini}}, and the later Indian linguist Bhartrihari, had a significant influence on many of the foundational ideas proposed by
Ferdinand de Saussure, professor of Sanskrit, who is widely considered the father of modern structural linguistics.
Other early
scholars of linguistics include
Jakob Grimm, who devised the principle of consonantal shifts in pronunciation known as
Grimm's Law in 1822,
Karl Verner, who discovered
Verner's Law,
August Schleicher who created the "Stammbaumtheorie" and
Johannes Schmidt (linguist) Johannes Schmidt who developed the "Wellentheorie" ("wave model") in 1872.
Ferdinand de Saussure was the founder of modern structural linguistics.
Edward Sapir, a leader in American structural linguistics, was one of the first who explored the relations between language studies and anthropology. His methodology had strong influence on all his successors.
Noam Chomsky Noam Chomsky's formal model of language,
transformational-generative grammar, developed under the influence of his teacher
Zellig Harris, who was in turn strongly influenced by
Leonard Bloomfield, has been the dominant one from the
1960s.
Other important linguists and
schools include
Michael Halliday, whose
systemic functional grammar is pursued widely in the
United Kingdom U.K.,
Canada,
Australia,
China, and
Japan;
Dell Hymes, who developed a pragmatic approach called The Ethnography of Speaking;
George Lakoff,
Leonard Talmy, and
Ronald Langacker, who were pioneers in
cognitive linguistics;
Charles J. Fillmore Charles Fillmore and
Adele Goldberg (linguist) Adele Goldberg, who are associated with
construction grammar; and linguists developing several varieties of what they call
Functionalism (linguistics) functional grammar, including
Leonard Talmy,
Talmy Givon and
Robert Van Valin, Jr..
Representation of speech
*
International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), a system used to write down and reproduce the
sounds of
human speech.
*
SAMPA, an
ASCII-only transcription for the IPA used by some authors. See also [http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/sampa/home.htm the SAMPA home page].
Narrower conceptions of "linguistics"
"Linguistics" and "
linguist" may not always be meant to apply as broadly as above. In some contexts, the best
definitions may be "what is studied in a typical university's department of linguistics", and "one who is a
professor in such a department." Linguistics in this narrow sense usually does not refer to learning to speak foreign languages (except insofar as this helps to craft formal models of language.) It does not include
literary analysis. Only sometimes does it include study of things such as
metaphor. It probably does not apply to those engaged in such prescriptive efforts as found in
William Strunk Jr. Strunk and
E. B. White White's ''
The Elements of Style''; "linguists" usually seek to study what people do, not what they ''should'' do. One could probably argue for a long while about who is and who is not a "linguist".
