Linguist

 By Jaime Sellman and Connor Christina Linguistics is the scientific study of natural language. []   ♦Phonology is the study of how sounds are organized and used in languages. ♦Morphology is the understanding the crossing point between lexical representation, phonological methods, and sub-lexical structure ♦Language acquisition focuses on language development in children and adults. ♦Phonetics is an order of __linguistics__ that focuses on the study of the sounds used in speech. ♦Neurolinguistics is the science concerned with the neural devices underlying the understanding, making and knowledge of language, if it's spoken, signed or written ♦Psycholinguistics is the study of the influence of psychological factors on the development, use, and understanding of language ♦Semantics is the study of language meaning.

The founder of Linguistic Science is Sir William Jones. Although Ferdinand de Saussure was the founder of modern day linguistics. There are many important discoveries in the science of linguistics: ===== <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-size: 120%; color: rgb(20, 49, 255); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">♦All languages and dialects are logical, that is, they all follow rules that dictate pronunciation, word meaning, sentence structure, and the structure of larger items such as conversations or stories. There is no scientific basis that claims that one language or dialect is more 'grammatical', 'complex', 'logical', 'clear', or superior to another. ♦All languages are always changing. ♦Dialect variety within a language (such as English) results from the language of different groups undergoing separate paths of change.

In a news report in Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, psychologist Lawrence Rosenblum describes research examining how our different senses blend together to help us understand speech. <span style="color: rgb(20, 49, 255); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> <span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-size: 7pt; color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"> <span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Every day we are confronted with positive and negative reports. By combining the new information with what we already know, we are able to figure out if the statement is true or false. Research has suggested that including negative words, such as “not,” in the middle of a sentence can throw off our brains and make it more difficult to understand. <span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-size: 7pt; color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;">
