Lexis&_160;· Semantics&_160;· PragmaticsLinguistics is narrowly defined as the scientific approach to the study of language, but language can, of course, be approached from a variety of directions, and a number of other intellectual disciplines are relevant to it and influence its study. Semiotics, for example, is a related field concerned with the general study of signs and symbols both in language and outside of it. Literary theorists study the use of language in artistic literature. Linguistics additionally draws on work from such diverse fields as psychology, speech-language pathology, informatics, computer science, philosophy, biology, human anatomy, neuroscience, sociology, anthropology, and acoustics. Within the field, linguist is used to describe someone who either studies the field or uses linguistic methodologies to study groups of languages or particular languages. Outside the field, this term is commonly used to refer to people who speak many languages or have a great vocabulary. Before the twentieth century, the term "philology", first attested in 1716,[5] was commonly used to refer to the science of language, which was then predominantly historical in focus.[6] Since Ferdinand de Saussure's insistence on the importance of synchronic analysis, however, this focus has shifted[7] and the term "philology" is now generally used for the "study of a language's grammar, history and literary tradition," especially in the United States,[8] where it was never as popular as it was elsewhere (in the sense of the "science of language").[5]

1. The Art of a Sales Conversation How to create powerful Sales Conversations
October 26, 2009
A sales coaching client recently asked me how to create better sales conversations. And I put it back to him with a question "What is your current strategy?" I always want to know somebody's starting point. To which he replied "I have three questions to ask my client at the beginning of a meeting." I just stopped him there and said "Was this the dating strategy you used to seduce your wife? How far do you think you would have got with that?" No conversations start that way. There are always natural flows in a conversation. In the field of linguistics and discourse analysis, which is the stud... (read more)

2. Language Phonology - Part 2
October 05, 2009
The path to learning to speak a language as a native speaker is blocked with barriers to you. Some of these barriers are apparent, such as accents, and vocabularies. Yet, even the mastery of both is really not enough. The subtle barriers not as easily spotted are the proper inflection and intonation and knowing where to place the correct emphasis are the more musical aspects of the languages. Phonology is the study which will help to point out these obscure keys to fluency and is the basis on which other aspects of linguistics are based.
The crossroad between phonology and morphology is w... (read more)

8. What Is Neuro Linguistic Programming 101?
April 09, 2009
Everyone from therapists to fitness instructors to life coaches are using neuro linguistic programming (NLP) to change the brain's thinking patterns, rephrasing language to improve efficiency and motivate. "Once people realize they really can, do, be and have everything they want, it opens up everything for them," says Liz Pihulak, a neuro-linguistics practitioner. Through the use of language, we can clear our vocabulary of defeatist words and repeat more positive phrases until the "drills" transform into reality and we are feeling more confident and empowered.
NLP was developed in the ea... (read more)

18. Nano-Learning - A New Perspective on Learning through Imagery and Animation
May 08, 2007
The growth of e-learning has been driven by the demand for faster and effective learning processes.

22. Peep into the Fabulous World of Dictionaries
April 04, 2006
Lexicography is an important branch of linguistics, which covers the theory and practice of compiling dictionaries. The history of lexicography of the English language goes as far back as the Old English period where its first traces are found in the form of the glosses of religious books with interlinear translation from Latin.

23. Jazz Up Your English With Fresh And Lively Idioms
November 19, 2005
English language is loaded with non-standard phrases, which rooted so deeply in its vocabulary that at times cannot be distinguished from the accepted Standard English terms. On the one hand, they jazz up the language of native speakers, making it very lively, natural, and authentic.
However, on the other hand, non-standard phrases make a pile of understanding hassles to English learners, who helplessly try to gain an understanding of all intricate words and phrases, invented by the language speakers impromptu.
This really stands for some reason, because the most difficult aspect o... (read more)

November 15, 2005
A language is a living substance, which evolves under the influence of different factors. Being very flexible English language constantly enriches its vocabulary with the words invented by the language speakers, making it more colorful with new idiomatic expressions, and at times refills its stocks with the borrowings and neologisms. English just amazes by its extraordinary linguistic diversity. It is a language rich in exceptions and spelling traps, where almost every rule is valid 90% of the time. English is a language with a vast idiomatic basis, which makes its learning very excitin... (read more)
