DESCRIPTION
Linguistics Diploma
The field of linguistics analyses language scientifically. It includes studying
all aspects of language, methods of studying them, and models of representing
the grammar of languages. The field's significant traditionally studied areas
are phonology, phonetics, morphology, semantics, syntax, and pragmatics. Every
area deals with a specific aspect of language found in the linguistic systems of
humans, like sounds or gestures, morphemes, words, phrases, sentences, meanings
of words, and language use. The field of linguistics stands with language
philosophy, rhetoric and stylistics, semiotics, translation studies, and
lexicography.
The Linguistics Diploma course offered by Elearncollege will ensure that you
acquire analytical skills of advanced level, in-depth knowledge of linguistics,
and let you experience what it is like to be an independent linguistic
researcher.
The Linguistics Diploma course starts with a module on Language Description.
This introductory module will get you used to linguistics basics, which are the
building blocks of language studies and linguistic analysis, like grammar,
phonology, and morphology. The Linguistics Diploma course will then take you to
data, theory and method modules, which will deal with topics like hypothesis
testing, data collection, the importance of linguistic theories, research
ethics, and reference cited in academic writings. The Linguistics Diploma course
offered by Elearncollege covers all important sub-fields like second language
acquisition, sociolinguistics, history of English, and discourse analysis.
Within linguistics, these different phenomena are analyzed in diverse and
innovative ways, taking different perspectives. Theoretical linguistics, which
is descriptive mainly, deals with descriptions of models for language systems,
the various parts within these systems, and how they combine to make meaning.
Psycholinguistics is concerned with how we process language and produce
utterances when we use language. Computational linguistics deals with computing
and analyzing language phenomena like parsing and processing natural languages.
Neurolinguistics analyses the connection between our brain and language by
analyzing the signals sent around the brain when there is a linguistic stimulus.
