LINGUISTICS
ROBINS (1985)
"Linguistics is the study of human language as a
universal and recognizable part of human behavior
as well as human faculties, perhaps one of the most
important parts of human life as we know it and one
of the most far reaching human abilities, in terms
of the whole range of mankind's achievements."
WHAT IS A LINGUISTICS?
5. MICRO
Phonetics
Morphology
Phonology
Symantics
is the study of language,
including how it sounds
(phonetics and phonology), how
it is put together
(morphology), how it is put
together (syntax), and how it
means (semantics) in context
(pragmatics).

BRANCHES
6. MICRO
Phonetics
is the study of how language sounds. It looks at how
sounds are made, how they travel, and how people
hear them. Phonetics is further broken down into
three distinct branches that are:
Ariculatory Phonetics
Acoustic Phonetics
Auditory Phonetics
7. MICRO
Phonetics
is the study of how language sounds. It looks at how
sounds are made, how they travel, and how people
hear them. Phonetics is further broken down into
three distinct branches that are:
Ariculatory Phonetics
• deals with the study of how speech sounds
are made (articulation).
8. MICRO
Phonetics
is the study of how language sounds. It looks at how
sounds are made, how they travel, and how people
hear them. Phonetics is further broken down into
three distinct branches that are:
Acoustic Phonetics
• examines the physical qualities of sounds
as they are transferred from the lips. to
the air and received by the ear drum.
9. MICRO
Phonetics
is the study of how language sounds. It looks at how
sounds are made, how they travel, and how people
hear them. Phonetics is further broken down into
three distinct branches that are:
Auditory Phonetics
• deals with the study of how the ear,
auditory nerve, and brain always respond to
speech sounds.
10. MICRO
Phonology
Is the study of how sounds are put together
as units of speech in each language. It also
looks at the rules for how sounds are
divided into small sounds in each language
11. MICRO
Morphology
Deals with how words are made, how they are
used, and how small letters are used to make
words. It looks at how words are broken up
into small parts that mean something
(morphemes).
There are two more types of morphology:
derivational morphology, and inflectional
12. MICRO
Semantics
Is the study of what words mean. It’s about
learning how words are put together and how
to make sentences that create meaning.
13. MICRO
Pragmatics
It is concerned with the meaning of language
as well, but it concentrates on actual
meaning in context rather than individual
word meanings.
Is the study of a language’s phrase
building, clauses, and sentences. It is
concerned with the basic word order utilized
14. MACRO LINGUISTICS
Intra-
Disciplinary
examines language in a variety of
contexts and over time.
Macro-linguistics comprises the
study of various disciplines that
are related to language research
in any way, for example,
sociolinguistics is the study of
the relationship between society
and linguistics.

such as geography, sociology, psychology,
neurology, and so on.

16. MACRO LINGUISTICS
• Sociolinguistics
The term sociolinguistics refers to the
study of the link between language and
society. Sociolinguistics is the
discipline of linguistics that studies
how society affects language. It is
closely related to anthropology,
sociology, and culture.

The study of the mental aspects of language
and communication is known os
psycholinguistics. Its domain la particularly

Is the study of how language is
represented in the brain, as well as how
and where the brain stores language
knowledge. It emphasizes on what occurs in
our brains during language acquisition and
when we apply this knowledge to use.
