branches is that all of them have their basis in
the study of language, how it is used, learned
and/or acquired. The linguistic science
involves the theory which is going to be in
practice in the Applied linguistics'
field.Educational linguistics, as we already
know is just another branch of Applied
linguistics, and it is concerned with putting in

language (linguistics, applied linguistics) but in
an educational context.
It is the use of knowledge about
language, how it is learned and
