 1. THEORETICAL
LINGUISTICS
The branch of linguistics that is
most concerned with developing
models of linguistics knowledge. It
focuses on the examination of the
structure of english in all its
manifestations
PRAGMATICS
 Pragmatics VS Semantics

Semantics refers to the specific meaning of

language
Pragmatic involves all the social cues that
accompany language
Pragmatics focuses not on what people say but
how they say it and others interpet their
utterance in social context. Utterances are
literally the units of sound you make when you
talk. But in the sign that accompany those
utterances give the sounds their true meaning.
 PRAGMATICS IN ACTIONS

"You invited your friend over for

dinner. Your child sees your friend
reach for some cookies and says,
'Better not take those, or you'll get
even bigger.' You can't believe your
child could be so rude."
What would happen to language if
Pragmatics did not exist?
 Pragmatics acts as the basis for all language
interactions and contact. It is a key feature to the
understanding of language and the responses that
follow this. Therefore, without the function of
Pragmatics, there would be very little
understanding of intention and meaning.
 We would like to demonstrate this by
showing you how life would be WITHOUT
Pragmatics:

‘Can you pass the salt?’

‘What time do you call
this?’
 2. APPLIED
LINGUISTICS
- Concerned with the aplication of
linguistics theories to evaluate the
language problems arisen from other
professions.
- Studied of language-related issues in
everyday life
- Identifies, investigates, and offers
students to language related
problems, and teaches how it is
Diachronic (Historical) Linguistics

Diachronic linguistics refers to the

study of how a language evolves
over a period of time. Tracing the
development of English from the
Old English period to the twentieth
century is a diachronic study.
 Example of Diachronic
Linguistics

-An example of diachronic linguistics would

be the study of how Chaucer's Middle
English became Shakespeare's English and
then contemporary English.

- Another is how Old and Middle English

managed to separate from German.
 Example of Diachronic
Linguistics
There are also a few more examples of
diachronic linguistics such as:

a. The development of Malay language in

the beginning until now.
b. Sansekerta language development
from its initial appearance to its
extinction.
c. The development of Indonesian, from
its inception until now.
 Synchronic linguistics

It is also known as descriptive

linguistics or general linguistics.
Synchronic linguistics aims at
describing a language at a specific
point of time, the time studied may
be either the present or a particular
point in the past (usually the
present).
 Example of Synchronic
linguistics

There are also a few more examples of synchronic

linguistics such as:
a. Study of Sundanese during the Hindu Budha
kingdom.
b. b. Examine the use of Malay in the colonial
period.
c. Investigate Indonesian after the youth oath.d.
Studying pre-independence Indonesian.
e. Investigating Javanese during the Dutch colonial
period.
