Another example is, the word 'hose' is formed with the word 'fire' becomes 'fire hose' These are the examples of compounds in the morphology, it is made out of two separate words to give one meaning. The smallest unit of meaning separated is called 'morphemes'.
The next field of linguistics that will be explained is Semantics. This linguistic field focused on the meaning of the words. Simply, it is the use of different words but the meaning of it still remains the same, for examples synonyms and antonyms. In instance, 'fire' can be interpret as 'hot' or 'flames' in other meaning, 'fire' is used to dismiss a person from an occupation. Other way of using semantics in is Metaphor.

The impact of these fields has made it possible for linguists or people in general to understand the language, words and pronunciation better . Not only that, the use of these different linguistics field has also an important part to context or to complete a sentence. This is to strengthen and give more deep meaning of a particular line of a sentence. There will be two sentences that will be further explained on how these linguistics field are context or linked with the word used in it. The first sentence is "The soldier deserted his dessert in the desert" and the second one is "The geologist unearthed new evidence about the earth's
