Branches of Language Science
- Linguistics involves studying language structure, sound, meaning, and use.
- Psycholinguistics examines how humans process and understand language.
- Neurolinguistics investigates the neural mechanisms of language.
- Sociolinguistics explores language in social contexts and its relation to society.
- Computational Linguistics approaches language from a computational perspective.
Key Concepts in Language Science
Phonetics and Phonology
- Phonetics is the study of speech sounds.
- Phonology examines sound patterns in language.
Morphology and Syntax
- Morphology examines word structure and formation.
- Syntax studies sentence structure and word order.
Semantics
- Semantics is the study of meaning in language.
Language Acquisition and Development
- Language Acquisition Device (LAD) is the hypothetical innate capacity for language acquisition.
- The Critical Period Hypothesis suggests language acquisition is easier before a certain age.
- Language Development Stages include babbling, one-word stage, two-word stage, and telegraphic speech.
Language and the Brain
- Broca's Area is the region of the brain responsible for language processing.
- Wernicke's Area is the region of the brain responsible for language comprehension.
- Aphasia is a language disorder resulting from brain damage.
