Field of Study

Field of Study in English Literature
Mr. Lalliankima Darlong

Phonetics: Phonetics is a branch of linguistics that studies the sounds of human speech, or—in the case of sign languages—the equivalent aspects of sign. It is concerned with the physical properties of speech sounds or signs: their physiological production, acoustic properties, auditory perception, and neurophysiological status.

Phonology: Phonology is the study of how sounds are organized and used in natural languages. The phonological system of a language includes. an inventory of sounds and their features, and. rules which specify how sounds interact with each other.

Morphology: Morphology is the study of the internal structure of words and forms a core part of linguistic study today. The term morphology is Greek and is a makeup of morph- meaning ‘shape, form’, and -ology which means ‘the study of something’. Morphology as a sub-discipline of linguistics was named for the first time in 1859 by the German linguist August Schleicher who used the term for the study of the form of words.
In linguistics, morphology is the study of words, how they are formed, and their relationship to other words in the same language. It analyzes the structure of words and parts of words, such as stems, root words, prefixes, and suffixes.

Syntax: In linguistics, syntax is the set of rules, principles, and processes that govern the structure of sentences in a given language, usually including word order. The term syntax is also used to refer to the study of such principles and processes.

Syntax is the grammatical structure of words and phrases to create coherent sentences.
Examples of Syntax in a Sentence:
The boy jumped happily.
The boy happily jumped.
Happily, the boy jumped.
