Linguistics Course

Description

Linguistics Diploma 

The field of linguistics analyses language scientifically. It includes studying all aspects of language, methods of studying them, and models of representing the grammar of languages. The field's significant traditionally studied areas are phonology, phonetics, morphology, semantics, syntax, and pragmatics. Every area deals with a specific aspect of language found in the linguistic systems of humans, like sounds or gestures, morphemes, words, phrases, sentences, meanings of words, and language use. The field of linguistics stands with language philosophy, rhetoric and stylistics, semiotics, translation studies, and lexicography.

The Linguistics Diploma course offered by Elearncollege will ensure that you acquire analytical skills of advanced level, in-depth knowledge of linguistics, and let you experience what it is like to be an independent linguistic researcher.

The Linguistics Diploma course starts with a module on Language Description. This introductory module will get you used to linguistics basics, which are the building blocks of language studies and linguistic analysis, like grammar, phonology, and morphology. The Linguistics Diploma course will then take you to data, theory and method modules, which will deal with topics like hypothesis testing, data collection, the importance of linguistic theories, research ethics, and reference cited in academic writings. The Linguistics Diploma course offered by Elearncollege covers all important sub-fields like second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, history of English, and discourse analysis.

Within linguistics, these different phenomena are analyzed in diverse and innovative ways, taking different perspectives. Theoretical linguistics, which is descriptive mainly, deals with descriptions of models for language systems, the various parts within these systems, and how they combine to make meaning. Psycholinguistics is concerned with how we process language and produce utterances when we use language. Computational linguistics deals with computing and analyzing language phenomena like parsing and processing natural languages. Neurolinguistics analyses the connection between our brain and language by analyzing the signals sent around the brain when there is a linguistic stimulus.
