"Modern linguistics is considered to be an applied science as well as an academic field of general study within the humanities and social sciences."
"Traditional areas of linguistic analysis correspond to syntax, semantics, morphology, phonetics, phonology, and pragmatics."
"Subdisciplines such as biolinguistics and psycholinguistics bridge many of these divisions."
"Theoretical linguistics is concerned with understanding the universal and fundamental nature of language and developing a general theoretical framework for describing it, while applied linguistics seeks to utilize the scientific findings of the study of language for practical purposes."
"Practical purposes include developing methods of improving language education and literacy."
"Linguistic features may be studied through a variety of perspectives: synchronically or diachronically, in monolinguals or in multilinguals, amongst children or amongst adults."
"Studying how language is being learned or how it was acquired."
"Through written texts or through oral elicitation, and finally through mechanical data collection or through practical fieldwork."
"Linguistics emerged from the non-scientific field of philology, and both are now variably described as related fields, subdisciplines, or the latter to have been superseded by linguistics altogether."
"Linguistics is also related to the philosophy of language, stylistics, rhetoric, semiotics, lexicography, and translation." Please note that the list above contains 14 study questions, not 20.
