Introduction Linguistics is when language and the structure of language are studied. How language functions and how language is used. Many building blocks of different types and length are put together to bring up a language. Sounds are put together, and at times, when this happens, they change their form and do amazing things. Words are put in a certain order, and at times the beginnings and endings of words are changed to change the meaning. The meaning can be affected by the arrangement of words and the knowledge of the person speaking about what the receiver will understand. There are branches of linguistics that are also given names. In this essay three branches will be talked about, these will be Phonetics, Phonology and Morphology. (SIL

In sign language, phonetics is the possible shapes, movements and use of physical space. (SIL International, 2015)Phoneticians traditionally rely on careful listening and observation. When doing this, a phonetician uses a detailed structure for speech sounds which is based on how the sounds are made and on aspects of the sound impression they make. The most popular framework is the International Phonetic Association. The knowledge of the sounds used in languages around the world comes from this kind of description. This is still an important aspect of phonetics today. From at least the nineteenth century, many styles have been put to speech which allow speech to be measured objectively. (Williams and Flory, 2013) Communicating with each other is the best action that human beings can do. Humans have a way of communicating what is in the human mind in order for it to enter the minds of the receiving human beings. For people who cannot communicate verbally, it is possible for them to use other communication tools such as sign language or they could maybe use a pointer and a computer …show more content…
Phonology is just one of several aspect of language. Phonology is related to other aspects of language. These aspects include phonetics and morphology. Phonology is the foundation for further work in morphology, syntax, and etcetera. Phonology analyses the patterns of sound used in a certain language by choosing which phonetic sounds are important, and explaining how the sounds are interpreted by a native speaker (Www-01.sil.org, 2015). Phonology is traditionally used in two ways. First, phonology refers to a description of the sounds of particular languages and the rules that accommodate the production of those sounds. Secondly, phonology refers to the part of the general theory of human language that is concerned with the universal properties of natural language sound systems (Akmajian, Demers and Harnish, 1979). Morphology The word syntax is adopted from the Greek elements syn, which means together, and tax, which means arranging. Syntax is a level of grammar that refers to the arrangement of words and morphemes in the planning of arrangements such as phrases, clauses, and
