By Alifa Irlinda (ED’09)

Linguistics is the scientific study of human language. It is one of the four mainstreams conducted by Sebelas Maret University’s English Department. Every year, it draws many English Department students interested in the study to deepen their Linguistics knowledge within classes.

Linguistic Levels

Linguistics can be divided into several sub-studies, i.e. language structure, language meaning, and language in context. The first category deals with the grammar of a language, meaning some sort of rules obeyed by the users of a language concluded in the study of morphology, syntax, phonology and systemic functional grammar. The second scoop of study deals with language meaning. It is concluded in the study of semantics and pragmatics. The third sub-study sees language as it is influenced by social, political, cultural, and historical matters. It is concluded in the study of sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, language acquisition, and discourse analysis.
