There are various sub-categories of linguistics; the description of all sub-categories is given below:
- Syntax: It is the sub category which is all about studying grammatical arrangement of words in any sentences. There are different rules for making a sentence and words. For example: I love will being alone (wrong grammar), it should be (I love being alone). The words or a sentence which has its correct verbs of grammar gives a good meaning to the speaker.
- Semantics: This sub category deals about the studying of meaning of any words, phrase or sentence. It involves with the things which the speaker want to say to the listener what they should understand. For example: if someone asks me do you want some coffee? I have to say Yes or No and the reply for the coffee makes me aware. So the conversation between speaker and listener make easier with all grammar correct all verbs correct which gives meaningful result.
- Morphology: Sub category which is about studying structure of words. For example: any words are formed by verbs, adverbs, and adjective. For example: in word ‘unforgettable’ this word is formed by three parts that is ‘un’ which means not, ‘forget’ means the things which remind in our mind or that cannot be deleted and ‘able’ which means we can do or the things we can’t do. Morphology need to pay attention to the words which is formed by mixing with other words.
- Phonetics: Sub category which is all about studying language sound. For example how sound are made with mouth, teeth, nose and tongue. And hearing with the ear the sound produce is determined with computer program. It is also refers to the movement, physical shapes etc.
