I have many courses in English education department of
Baturaja University. But, I rather love all courses dealing with linguistics
than the 4L skills. I love analyzing the study of language, that is, linguistics.
Linguistics is
the scientific study of language,
specifically of language form, language meaning, and language in context. Linguistics analyses human language as a system for
relating sounds
(or signs in signed languages) and meaning. Phonetics
studies acoustic and articulatory properties of the production and perception
of speech sounds and non-speech sounds. The study of language meaning, on the other hand, deals with how
languages encode relations between entities, properties, and other aspects of
the world to convey, process, and assign meaning, as well as to manage and
resolve ambiguity.
While the study of semantics typically concerns itself with truth
conditions, pragmatics deals with how context influences meanings.
I think it is the
most interesting thing to be learned. There must be many field of linguistics,
including Phonology, Morphology, Semantics, Psycholinguistics, and so on. Each
of them provides many more interesting things to be focused on. Studying about
linguistics gives its own power, so that I, myself, is pretty much trapped into
this scientific study. I really wish I can become a professional linguist some
sweet day. Amiin. Thank you :)
