    FORMAL GRAMMAR
    SEMANTICS
    PRAGMATICS

    1. It's concerned with the arrangement of linguistics forms.


    2. It does not involve the study of the user or the world of reference.
    3. The study of contextual meaning.
    4. The study of what is not said and it is still communicated.
    5. It connects states of affairs in the world and verbal descriptions. States of
    affairs are considered true or false regardless of who produces the
    description.
    6. It studies the rules that would leave out any incorrect ordering.
    7. The study of competence.
    8. The study of how closeness influences how much speakers need to say.
    9. It talks about people's intended meaning.
    10. Structure of language (code) as grammar.
    11. Use merely implements, perhaps limits, may correlate with, what is
    analysed as code; analysis of code prior to analysis of use.
    12. Elements and structures analytically universal (in theoretical
    perspective).
    13. Linguists tend to regard language primarily as a mental
    phenomenon.
    14. Functional (adaptive) differentiation of languages, varieties, styles; these
    being existentially (actually) not necessarily equivalent.
    15. Linguists are inclined to explain children's acquisition of language in
    terms of a built-in human capacity to learn language.
    16. It connects states of affairs in the world and verbal descriptions.
    States of affairs are considered true or false regardless of who
    produces the description.
    17. It is also concerned with the truth conditions of propositions.
    18. It is also concerned with the truth conditions of propositions.
    19. The study of speaker meaning.
    20. This analysis would also show that there are missing elements and
    explicate why the empty slot is allowed.
    21. There is one main disadvantage; namely that it is very difficult to
    study these concepts in a consistent and systematic way.
    22. It considers language as a cognitive system which is part of any
    normal human being's mental or psychological structure.
    23. Language has a social nature.
    24. Functional equivalence of languages; all languages essentially
    (potentially) equal.
    25. Single homogeneous code and community ("replication of
    uniformity")
    26. The study of performance
    27. It is concerned with the rules that determine the correct structure
    28. Linguists concentrate on the description of linguistic forms dependant on
    the purpose.
    29. Fundamental concepts, such as speech community, speech act, fluent
    speaker, functions of speech and of languages, taken for granted or
    arbitrarily postulated
    30. Linguists are committed to the investigation of what language is used
    for.
    31. Above all, language is studied as an autonomous system
    Structure of speech as ways of speaking.
    32. It's concerned with the well formedness of strings of words.
    33. Analysis of use prior to analysis of code; organization of use disclosed
    additional features and relations: shows code and use in integral
    (dialectal) relation
    ,/ Fundamental concepts, such as speech community, speech act, fluent
    speaker, functions of speech and of languages taken as problematic and to
    be investigated.
    ,J Logics is frequently used.
    ,f Linguists tend to regard language primarily as a Fundamental concepts,
    such societal phenomenon_
    ,/ Linguists tend to explain linguistic universals as deriving from the universality
    of the uses to which language is put in human society. ,f Linguists are
    inclined to explain children's acquisition of language in terms of the
    development of the child's communicative needs and abilities in society.
    ,/ Above all, they study language in relation to its social function. Linguists
