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).
