linguistics


Aside from language structure, other perspectives on language are represented in specialized or interdisciplinary branches:
  • Historical Linguistics
  • Sociolinguistics
  • Psycholinguistics
  • Ethnolinguistics (or Anthropological Linguistics)
  • Dialectology
  • Computational Linguistics
  • Psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics
Because language is such a central feature of being a human, Linguistics has intellectual connections and overlaps with many other disciplines in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences. Some of the closest connections are with Philosophy, Literature, Language Pedagogy, Psychology, Sociology, Physics (acoustics), Biology (anatomy, neuroscience), Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Health Sciences (Aphasia, Speech Therapy).

ENG201: People i need to know if you are receiving this in...: People i need to know if you are receiving this info or if its a waste of time no one in the class is responding to the bog  are the posts ...

This is interesting. Some of what is discussed is not supported in the literature but some very interesting ideas such as the best period to learn a language, the benefits of language learning, and whether children and adults learn languages in the same way.
I would really like to see some interaction among the members of the class though.
