    This document discusses the differences between linguistics and applied linguistics. It begins by defining applied linguistics as a branch of linguistics that focuses on the practical applications of language studies, such as language teaching methods and language policy problems. Linguistics is then defined as the scientific study of language, including its form, meaning, and use. The key difference highlighted is that linguistics studies language structure more theoretically while applied linguistics focuses on practical solutions to language issues. Applied linguistics identifies and addresses real-world problems related to language.

    WHAT IS A.L?
    Applied linguistics is a branch of linguistics that focuses on the practical applications of
    language studies. In other words, it involves the practical application of concepts related to
    linguistics. Furthermore, this is a field of study that identifies, investigates, and offers solutions
    to problems related to language. Therefore, it helps linguists to understand practical problems,
    such as what are the best methods of teaching languages or what are the problems in
    language policy-making.

    Applied linguistics covers a large number of areas such as bilingualism, multilingualism,


    discourse analysis, language pedagogy, language acquisition, language planning and policy, and
    translation. In addition, applied linguistics is related to other fields such as education,
    communication, sociology, and anthropology..

    WHAT IS LINGUISTIC?
    Linguistics is the scientific study of language. It involves the form of language, the
    meaning of language, and language in context. Basically, it studies how language is
    formed, how it works, and how people use it. Linguistics also explores various
    language-related phenomena, such as language variation, language acquisition,
    language change over time, and language storage and processing in the human brain.
    Although some people assume that linguistics is only about the study of a particular
    language, this is not the case. Linguistics is concerned with the study of particular
    languages, as well as with the search for common properties observable in all languages
    or large groups of languages.

    There are several sub-areas in linguistics as follows:


    • Phonetics - studies speech and sounds
    • Phonology - studies the pattern of sounds
    • Morphology - studies the structure of words
    • Syntax - studies the structure of sentences
    • Semantics - studies the literal meaning
    • Pragmatics - studies language in context

    DIFERENCES BETWEEN THEM


    Linguistics is the scientific study of the structure and development of language in general or of
    particular languages. By contrast, applied linguistics is the branch of linguistics that focuses on
    the practical applications of language studies. So, this is the key difference between linguistics
    and applied linguistics. It is important to note that while some branches of linguistics, such as
    historical linguistics and
    comparative linguistics, are
    more concerned with the
    theoretical aspects of language,
    applied linguistics is concerned
    with the practical application of
    linguistics.

    Furthermore, Linguistics
    basically focuses on the
    scientific study of language and
    its structure, while Applied
    Linguistics can identify, explore,
    and offer solutions to language-
    related problems. Therefore,
    we can consider this as the
    difference between linguistics
    and applied linguistics in terms
    of their function.
