Task 1
1. What is the important of study advanced linguistic to your language teaching?
We can say the study of advanced linguistics is important because it helps us gain an understanding of how language works. This can help teachers to analyze and provide solutions for learners how to learn English well. For example, if students are not able to pronounce well, the teacher directs the correct sounds articulation. This also can facilitate learning new languages as well as help we learn new things about our own.
2. Why does language keep on changing?
Because English is most influential language used by people around the word. For example 80% of emails on the internet are in English. In addition, Moreover, English is going to become even more important as a global lingua franca. Even, there are already dictionaries of the ‘New Englishers’ such as Australian English.
Although different varieties of English will continue to change and develop around the world, standard English will survive for international communication. For example:
| Standard English | |
| I ain’t done nothing | I haven’t done anything |
| I done it yesterday | I did it yesterday |
| It weren’t me that done it | I didn’t do it |
3. Is it important to learn the typology of linguistics?
Linguistic typology is also language typology, typology of language. The classification of human languages into different types on the basis of shared properties which are not due to common origin or geographical contact. Linguistic typology therefore complements the long-established tradition of genetic classification, in which languages are assigned to a family on the basis of their presumed historical origin.
4. What is the basic different between phonology and phonetic?
Phonetics is a branch of linguistics that comprises the study of the sounds of human speech. It is concerned with the physical properties of speech sounds, and their physiological production, auditory perception, and neurophysiological status.
Phonology is the basic for further work in morphology. Syntax, discourse and orthography design; analyze the sounds patterns of a particular language by:
- Determining which phonetics sounds are significant and
- Explaining how these sounds are interpreted by the native speaker.
In contrast to phonetics, phonology is the study of how sounds and gestures pattern in and across languages, relating such concerns with other levels and aspects of language. Phonetics deals with the articulatory and acoustic properties of speech sounds, how they are produced, and how they are perceived. As part of this investigation, phoneticians may concern themselves with the physical properties of meaningful sound contrasts or the social meaning encoded in the speech signal (e.g. gender, ethnic.). However, a substantial portion of research in phonetics is not concerned with the meaningful elements in the speech signal.
- While phonology is grounded in phonetics, it is a distinct area of linguistics, treating sounds and gestural units as abstract units (e.g.phonemes features, tc.) and accounting for conditioned variation in the form of grammatical rules (e.g., allophonic rules, constraints, derivational rules) Phonology relates to phonetics via the set of distinctive features, which relate the abstract representations of speech units to speech gestures or acoustic representations
