Scope of Linguistics
Linguistics, as a study of language, covers a wide range of fields and topics. It not only studies Languages but looks at everything from the smallest units like phoneme and phonetics to larger units like sentences and syntax, pragmatics and semantics. Besides, a linguist has to concentrate on some brunches such as- socio linguistics, psycho-linguistics, neuro-linguistics, historical-linguistics etc. Thus the scope of linguistics is a vast and huge one. A full knowledge of the various components of a language and their relations with the other languages, constitute the right scope of linguistics.
•Syntax examines the structure of the sentences. It is the grammar of forming sentences.
•Semantics deals with the meaning of words phrases and sentences.
