 Linguistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sociolinguistics, anthropological linguistics, and linguistic anthropology are social sciences that consider the interactions between linguistics and society as a whole.
Applications of computational linguistics in machine translation, computer-assisted translation, and natural language processing are extremely fruitful areas of applied linguistics which have come to the forefront in recent years with increasing computing power.
Linguists working in Optimality Theory state generalizations in terms of violable rules, which is a greater departure from mainstream linguistics, and linguists working in various kinds of functional grammar and Cognitive Linguistics tend to stress the non-autonomy of linguistic knowledge and the non-universality of linguistic structures, thus departing importantly from the Chomskian paradigm.

 Theoretical linguistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theoretical linguistics is that branch of linguistics that is most concerned with developing models of linguistic knowledge.
Part of this endeavor involves the search for and explanation of linguistic universals, that is, properties all languages have in common.
The fields that are generally considered the core of theoretical linguistics are syntax, phonology, morphology, and semantics.

 Jamaica Gleaner - What is Caribbean linguistics? - Saturday | August 5, 2000
Linguists are fascinated about the fact that in every culture, in every society, every child who is born and does not have a mental or hearing impairment, ends up learning the language of his or her community perfectly.
Linguists argue that these forms of speech are languages, they should be studied, they can tell a lot about the history of the societies, and they can be used for any purpose their speakers want to put them to.
The 13th Biennial Conference of the Society for Caribbean Linguistics to be held between August 16 and 19, at the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies, is just another stage in the ongoing task of studying Caribbean languages and bringing the results of our scientific study to public attention.

 Linguistics: Introduction - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
Linguists espouse a variety of theories about language; differences between these theories are sometimes quite striking even to laypeople, and sometimes so subtle that only well-read linguists can understand the distinctions being made.
It is, in fact, traditional in linguistics to use an asterisk to mark an example that is somehow unacceptable or unnatural for native users.
Linguists use the term deep structure to mean the way sentences are represented in the mind, as opposed to the way they sound when spoken (or look when written).

 LING001 -- HW1 -- answer sheet
This article deals with phonetics (the fine details of timing of laryngeal activity) and with phonology (because language are compared according to whether breathiness and pharyngealization of vowels are a distinctive part of the phonological system, or are a consequence of properties of adjacent consonants).
This article deals with phonetics (because details of vowel quality variation are involved) and with phonology (because the effect of the distinctive categories in the speaker's native phonological system is at issue).
From the abstract I gather that this article touches fundamentally on the Phonology level of analysis, and pertains to a number of disciplines related to linguistics including sociolinguistics (relation between social variables and language use), applied linguistics (language planning), history (social history of Cameroon) and anthropology (ethnicity, tribal and national identities).

 Linguistics Bibliography
Contemporary linguistics is not one unified discipline; it is more accurate to view it as consisting of a nucleus of general areas surrounded by a growing number of interdisciplinary research fields, approaches, and applications.
Each article is written and signed by one of fifteen contributors, all but two of whom are from universities or scholarly institutions in Poland.
The purpose of this atlas is to present side-by-side comparisons of linguistic data taken from the languages on the European continent regardless of whether the languages are related or not.

 Language, philosophy of : Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy Online
When studying a human language, linguists seek systematic explanations of its syntax (the organization of the language’s properly constructed expressions, such as phrases and sentences; see Syntax), its semantics (the ways expressions exhibit and contribute to meaning; see Semantics), and its pragmatics (the practices of communication in which the expressions find use; see Pragmatics).
Human linguistic capacities, he holds, issue from a dedicated cognitive faculty whose structure is the proper topic of linguistics.
The later Wittgenstein, for instance, reminds us of the vast variety of uses in which linguistic expressions participate, and warns of the danger of assuming that there is something aptly called their meanings which we might uncover through philosophy.

 FrontPage magazine.com :: Chomsky Wrecks His Train Set by John Williamson
The article was written by Noam Chomsky, professor of linguistics and anti-Americanism at MIT.
About half of this article an article so dully written, by the way, as to recall to mind Mark Twain’s famous characterization of the Book of Mormon: “chloroform in print” — is Chomsky’s recap of his journey of linguistic discovery — a journey which ends in the surprise twist I hinted at above.
Finally, I wrote in my April 1 article about the connection between Chomsky’s political theory of anarchism and his theory of language, which does not admit to pervasive social influences which are, by and large, anti-anarchistic, or hierarchical.

 Language Log: JP versus FHC+CHF versus PJ versus HCF
Aside from a very general and abstract account of Chomsky's view of the goals of his research, the only topic is who said what when, sometimes with a very abstract explanation of why.
We examine the question of which aspects of language are uniquely human and uniquely linguistic in light of recent suggestions by Hauser, Chomsky, and Fitch that the only such aspect is syntactic recursion, the rest of language being either specific to humans but not to language (e.g.
In a continuation of the conversation with Fitch, Chomsky, and Hauser on the evolution of language, we examine their defense of the claim that the uniquely human, language-specific part of the language faculty (the “narrow language faculty”) consists only of recursion, and that this part cannot be considered an adaptation to communication.

 Love of Learning Language Transcends All Ages
Though nobody is quite sure how the brain handles language, most linguists agree that children and adults learn and retain second languages differently because the brain changes over time with knowledge and experience.
Some linguists equate children to "sponges" who soak up all they hear, observations that helped fuel a movement to introduce foreign language early in elementary school.
Linguists concede that they don't agree on what age that is, but they agree that the critical period often is misunderstood.

A description of the field — the science of human language applied to all aspects of law — isn't much easier, given the kind of tools to be found in a professional linguist's kit.
Other tools touch on the meaning of words (semantics) as well as the conveyed meaning of words, which often is separate from what is found in a dictionary (pragmatics), and the changing nature and variability of language.
Most forensic linguists are consultants called upon to apply their expertise in all types of civil and criminal cases where they look primarily "for patterns and inconsistencies in patterns," Margaret van Naerssen, a professor at Immaculata University, told a Smithsonian Associates' audience this past fall.

 LLT Journal: Signal Analysis Software for Teaching Discourse Intonation
The main goal of this paper is thus to integrate the two seemingly disparate subfields of linguistics, acoustic phonetics, and discourse intonation, and to suggest a new framework for facilitating and studying the acquisition of suprasegmental phonology.
Finally, the article urges that software be designed to include both research tools and tools to facilitate, record, and analyze the intonation produced in real interactions between speakers.
The traditional theoretical linguistic basis for the learning and teaching of pronunciation was a focus on the segmentals, that is, the articulatory phonetics of individual sounds.
