Phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax...


Linguistics
==========
#Phonetics:
===============
the study and classification of speech sounds.OR Phonetics is the branch of linguistics that deals with the sounds of speech and their production, combination, description, and representation by written symbols.
===================
2.#Morphology

=======================
3.#Syntax :
In linguistics, syntax is the set of rules, principles, and processes that govern the structure of sentences in a given language, specifically word order. The term syntax is also used to refer to the study of such principles and processes.
OR
Syntax is basically the structure of sentences. Sentences have to follow certain structural rules in order to make sense. You can't just throw any words together to make a sentence! Order words make sense need to… this doesn't make sense!
#Semantics
================
Semantics is the philosophical and scientific study of meaning—in language, programming languages, formal logics, and semiotics. It focuses on the relationship between signifiers—like words, phrases, signs, and symbols—and what they stand for, their denotation.
or
Semantics is the study of the meaning of linguistic expressions.
Example of semantics.......
Semantics is the study of meaning in language. It can be applied to entire texts or to single words. For example, "destination" and "last stop" technically mean the same thing, but students of semantics analyze their subtle shades of meaning.

#Lexicology
study of the form, meaning, and behavior of words.
==========================
#Stylistic
Stylistics is the study of linguistic style, whereas (theoretical) Linguistics is the study of linguistic form. The term 'style' is used in linguistics to describe the choices which language makes available to a user, above and beyond the choices necessary for the simple expression of a meaning
