Subsystems of Language Phonetics / phonology Morphology Lexicology Syntax Discourse Analysis Semantics

Phonetics/phonology The study of sounds. C – a – t That says cat. WOW!

Morphology The field of study into how sounds fit together to make words or change the meaning of words. eg. Happy + un = unhappy

Lexicology The study of words, including their origins. jargon mid-14c., "unintelligible talk, gibberish," from Old French jargon "a chattering" (of birds), ultimately of echoic origin (cf. L. garrire "to chatter," Eng. gargle). Often applied to something the speaker does not understand, hence meaning "mode of speech full of unfamiliar terms" (1650s).

Syntax The study of sentence construction (including grammar) Is it a compound sentence or a complex sentence?

Discourse analysis The study of how sentences are connected. …and then… …you know what I mean, right? She just went on and on and on.

Semantics The study of meaning. How can ALL of these things we’ve looked at carry meaning?
