• Language codes information in arbitrary ways

• Language is structured

• Language is rule-governed

• Language is innate, and creative

• Language is uniquely human

What do you know when you know a language, for example, English ?

When you know English, it means you have the knowledge of making grammatical English sentences, that is the ability of speaking English perfectly. But when you are asked to state what this `knowledge' is, it isn't a simple task. We may not able to spell out even a sentence on this question. Most of us are unconscious of what this knowledge is. This unconscious `hidden' knowledge is what we call `linguistic competence'. The linguistic competence is thus the potential of being able to speak a language. Since it is hard to recognize this competence knowledge and it is unavailable to our conscious thought, we look for its answers through the actual realization of our knowledge, which is `linguistic performance'. This linguistic competence is different from 'performance' that reflects the actual use of language. Competence: a person's potential to speak a language; what a native speaker knows Performance: the realization of that potential; how the speaker uses this knowledge

Major subfields of linguistics

What is Linguistics?: Linguistics is the scientific study of language. It endeavors to answer the question--what is language and how is represented in the mind? Linguists focus on describing and explaining language and are not concerned with the prescriptive rules of the language (i.e., do not split infinitives). Linguists are not required to know many languages and linguists are not interpreters. The underlying goal of the linguist is to try to discover the universals concerning language.

What do you know when you know a language, for example, English ?

• Phonetic/phonological Competence: Sound System

• Morphological Competence

• Syntactic Competence: Creativity

• Semantic Competence

• Pragmatic Competence

3. Major subfields of linguistics

Phonetics: the study of the production and perception of speech sounds. It is concerned with the sounds of language, how these sounds are articulated and how the hearer perceives them.

Articulatory Phonetics: the production of speech sounds

Acoustic Phonetics: the study of the physical production and transmission of speech sounds.

Auditory Phonetics: the study of the perception of speech sounds.

Phonology: the study of the sound patterns of language. It is concerned with how sounds are organized in a language.

Morphology: the study of word formation and structure. It studies how words are put together from their smaller parts and the rules governing this process.

Syntax: the study of sentence structure. It attempts to describe what is grammatical in a particular language in term of rules.

Semantics: Semantics is the study of meaning. It is concerned with describing how we represent the meaning of a word in our mind and how we use this representation in constructing sentences. Semantics is based largely on the study of logic in philosophy.

Language Acquisition: Language acquisition examines how children learn to speak and how adults learn a second language. Language acquisition is very important because it gives us insight in the underlying processes of language.

Other Disciplines:

Sociolinguistics: Sociolinguistics is the study of interrelationships of language and social structure, linguistic variation, and attitudes toward language.

Neurolinguistics: Neurolinguistics is the study of the brain and how it functions in the production, perception and acquisition of language.

Historical Linguistics: Historical linguistics is the study of language change and the relationships of languages to each other.

Pragmatics: the study of meaning in context.

Computational linguistics: application of linguistic knowledge into computer science.
