Phonetics - describes properties of speech sounds (articulation...) - transcribes speech sounds (writes down pronunciation)
Phonology - -analyses funtion of speech sounds as smallest units of the language system - segmental phonology
phonotactics analyses rules for combination into syllables
suprasegmental phonology - analyses properties of larger stretches of speech ( word stress, intonation)
Morphology - investigates internal structure of words & analyses smallest, meaningful part of language - 2 categories
1. inflectional morphology am, is go, goes - morphemes indicate particular grammatical category (plural, case)
2. word formation learn, dislearn tolerate, tolerant - morphemes out of which new words can be created
Pragmatics - meaning of utterances - communicative value of each utterance within sequence e.g. "Can you tell me the time?"
Semantics 1. lexical semantics 2. formal semantics
1. lexical semantics - analyses meaning of single words
2. formal semantics - analyses meaning of larger linguistic units ( sentences)
Syntax - set of rules, principles & processes that govern structure of sentences - includes word order - operates above the word-boundary
Sociolinguistics - analyses how language use changes (varies) according to social factors - language caiation to speaker-internal factors (age, gender, ethnicity) - according to speaker-external factors (style, genre) e.g. invitation: "We request the honour of your presence..." spoken: " Will you come to..."
language - form of communication: endless amount of new messages - specifically human, kind of interactive behaviour - human tool for basis of precise abstract thought - each language = different world view
history of language - no 1 theory - theories develop within context of their own time - different methods
Methods to develop theories 1. observational / usage data 2. experimental data - same data can have different interpretation

Humboldt 2 2. as a tool which allows use of "finite elements" to produce infinity of new untterances ----> Genarative Language
