Applied Linguistics II

Applied linguistics involves the application of linguistic theories and empirical research to address real-world issues where language plays a central role. This field encompasses various aspects of language study, including phonology, morphology, phonetics, semantics, and syntax.

Applied Linguistics II

Applied Linguistics

refers to

Language teaching
therefore including

language planning

translation and interpreting studies

speech therapy

Language Descriptions

Semantics
dealing with the meaning of words, and Language grammatical semantics

how morpheme meanings are combined by grammar to

form the meaning of utterances

that part of linguistic description which deals with meaning,

is often divided into lexical semantics

Syntax
deals with how to put

words together to form sentences which mean what we want

Morphology
deals with the way in which words are made up of morphemes

the smallest meaningful units of language

Phonology
Speech Sounds as a System

each language contains a selection of the possible human speech sounds

the speech sounds are known as phonemes

Phonetics
Transcribing sounds

the sounds of a language are not the same as the letters of a language

even in languages with much less irregularity than English

The study of the sounds that human beings make in their languages

concerned

solving
social problems

use of language

definitions

Applied Linguistics’ is using what we know about
(c) how it is used, in order to achieve some purpose or solve some problem
(b) how it is learned
(a) language
the theoretical and empirical investigation of real-world problems
in which language is a central issue” (Brumfit, 1997, p. 93)

History

Much of what can now be seen as groundbreaking applied linguistics type activity
was carried out prior to the formal appearance of applied linguistics

or of linguistics as recognized fields of endeavor

A significant amount of work directed to real-world issues involving language
can be attributed to leading North American linguists,

although notcharacterized as applied linguistics

While North American applied linguistics has evolved over time,
in its orientation and scope, so has North American linguistics.
Applied Linguistics in North America
does have identifiable roots in linguistics.
