    Linguistics is the study of language systems. It divides language into five main components for study: phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. Phonology is the study of a language's speech sounds, morphology studies word structure/form, syntax examines word order and arrangement, semantics looks at meaning, and pragmatics considers language use in context. Teachers should focus on phonology, morphology and syntax as these aspects are core to understanding language structure.

    1
    What is linguistics?
    • Linguistics = the study of language
    systems

    2
    How do we study linguistics?
    • For the purposes of study, language is
    divided into levels, or components. 
    These components are conventional,
    and to some extent, arbitrary
    divisions of linguistic investigation.

    3
    What are the five components of language?

    • Phonology
    • Morphology
    • Syntax
    • Semantics
    • Pragmatics

    4
    What are the five components of language?

    • Phonology = the study of the speech sounds of a


    particular language
    • Morphology = the study of the structure or form
    of words in a particular language
    • Syntax = the study of the order and arrangement
    of words into larger units and the relationship
    between elements in these hierarchical units
    • Semantics = the study of how meaning is
    conveyed
    • Pragmatics = the study of the functions of
    language and its use in context.

    5
    In your opinion, which components should
    the teachers focus on? Why?
    • Phonology = the study of the speech sounds of a
    particular language
    • Morphology = the study of the structure of form
    of words in a particular language
    • Syntax = the study of the order and arrangement
    of words into larger units and the relationship
    between elements in these hierarchical units
    • Semantics = the study of how meaning is
