Abstract:This innovative perspective on historical linguistics, linguistics, and applied linguistics examines these areas of study with the role of trees in mind. It covers the quest for the founding father of historical linguistics - from the German Schleicher through the Scots, Stewart and Hutton, to the Americans, Whitney and Peirce, and the Swiss, Saussure. A brief but sweeping review of early linguistics and language study before the advent of cognitivism reveals American structuralism and immediate constituent analysis in descriptive linguistics relying on the tree structure even prior to the time transformative generative grammar was institutionalized.Keywords: Historical Linguistics, Linguistics, Language Teaching, Trees.Título en español: La lingüística histórica, la lingüística, y la lingüística aplicada: Un estudio motivado por los árboles.Resumen:Esta perspectiva original sobre la linguística histórica, la linguística, y la linguística aplicada examina estas áreas de estudio desde un punto de vista arbóreo. Cubre la búsqueda de un padre fundador de la lingüística histórica - desde el alemán, Schleicher, y los escoceses, Stewart y Hutton, a los norte-americanos, Whitney y Pierce y el suizo, Saussure. Una breve pero vasta revista de la primitiva lingüística y el estudio de lenguas antes de la aparición del cognitivismo revela que el estructuralismo americano y el análisis de los constituyentes inmediatos en la lingüística descriptiva dependen de la estructura arbórea incluso antes que la gramática generativa transformativa fue institucionalizada.Palabras Claves: Lingüística Histórico, Lingüística, Enseñanza de Lenguas, Árboles

Task Division

Applied Linguistics is generally regarded as a multidisciplinary field in which didactics, psychology and linguistics participate. It is remarkable that within the context of foreign language teaching the focus is mainly on the didactic experiment and on the construction of psycholinguistic hypotheses. Yet for a linguistic-didactic experiment to be relevant, insight in what is to be taught, viz. language,is necessary. Many variants of language teaching could have been avoided with a better linguistic insight. Moreover, a better linguistic understanding in applied linguis-tics leads to a better distinction between the views of linguists on language didactics and psycholinguistics and the descriptions of language they give. In this paper the relation between grammar and vocabulary is discussed. It is argued that this distinction is based more on definition than on reality. Stressing the importance of the role of vocabulary does not imply denying or minimising the importance of grammar. On the contrary, the traditional task division in linguistics between grammar and lexicology has led to a sterile grammatical description. Recent tendencies in linguistics now show a more integrated description of grammar and vocabu-lary. Finally, with regard to the didactically important problem of vocabu-lary selection, some remarks are made concerning the difference between selection on the basis of linguistic properties and selection on the basis of usually arbitrary non-linguistic idiosyncrasies of words and the influence of this on teaching material. This is illustrated with examples from language courses.

English Language Teaching

The research paper attempt to disentangle of (applied) linguistics in English language teaching.  In this research, I used a literature review as my method. The result revealed that the role (applied) linguistics in English language teaching is needed for language learners. As a result, English language learners have beneficial from (applied) linguistics along with study English language teaching.  The content of (applied) linguistics help language learners better to comprehend ELT.

Theoretical Foundations

The article deals with the most important relations between Foreign Language Didactics and the main theoretical models in modern linguistics, especially the Applied Linguistics of second- and foreign-language teaching. Theories and models of modern linguistics have often laid the theoretical foundations of foreign language teaching, as we can observe in the individual methods and learning techniques (from structuralism to generative grammar, communicativepragmatic turn of the 60s and 70s, cognitive linguistics and to F. Grucza's anthropocentric theory of languages). In this perspective, the purpose of this article is to raise and discuss the question of how modern linguistic theories can improve the effectiveness of language teaching.

Core Elements

AbstractThis paper builds on Langacker’s (in press. How to build an English clause. Journal of Foreign Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics 2(2)) analysis of subject-auxiliary inversion (SAI) as involving “existential negotiation”. Langacker’s account is completed by relating it to full verb inversion (FVI). In FVI, non-core elements are fronted, resulting in inversion without an auxiliary, as in Into the room walked Mary; however, non-core elements are also frontable in SAI, as in Bitterly did we regret our decision. Do is treated as denoting full actualization and SAI is accounted for by focus on an exceptionally intense mode of actualization, whence the use of do to explicitly express what is focused on. The role of into the room in the FVI example is to define a locus into which an entity is introduced. Since this does not involve focus on the fact or manner of the verbal event’s actualization, do is not used. This leads to a different division of inverted structures than that of Chen (2013. Subject auxiliary inversion and linguistic generalization: Evidence for functional/cognitive motivation in language. Cognitive Linguistics 24. 1–32), who distinguishes those that merely reverse subject and auxiliary (argued to denote non-indicative mood) from those where the inverted auxiliary-subject order is accompanied by fronting of a non-subject element (treated as involving focus on the fronted item). It is argued here that fronting do-auxiliary marks focus on the actualization of the verbal event itself.

Some linguists may well feel that it is inappropriate to devote an entire issue of the Annual Review of Applied Linguistics to a movement exclusively within language teaching. It would certainly be inaccurate to see language teaching as simply an application of linguistics, and some parts of this issue of ARAL will necessarily survey material that is not exclusively applied linguistics. Nonetheless, one particular tradition of applied linguistics has been heavily committed to the development of effective second language teaching strategies, and communicative language teaching has been responsive to changes in our approach to language study in its most central tenets and beliefs.

AbstractAs the field of applied linguistics ponders and even embraces the myriad roles technology affords language education, we frame this critical report within the context of the Modern Language Association's 2007 report, along with earlier state-of-the-field Annual Review of Applied Linguistics (ARAL) pieces (e.g., Blake, 2007; 2011) to consider not only where we've come from but also, crucially, where the field is headed. This article begins with an overview of the field, examining the role of technology and how it has been leveraged over decades of language teaching. We also explore issues such as the goals established by the Modern Language Association (MLA) with respect to shaping technological vision and the role of technology in enhancing the field of language education. We use this critical assessment to offer insights into how the field of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) can help shape the future of language teaching and learning.

Language Teaching And Learning

In this review of research in applied linguistics and language teaching and learning in Singapore, more than one hundred national publications for the period 2000–2007 will be reviewed. Since this period encompasses certain changes that were introduced in Singapore schools at the start of the new millennium, it would be appropriate to take stock of the studies that showcase these changes. These studies fall under five main areas of local research: norms, standards and models; English language curriculum and policy; reading and writing instruction and research; mother tongue teaching and learning; and the teaching of English to international students. In this review, representative work under each research area will be discussed, and this will be done within the broad historical and sociopolitical context of research in Singapore. The results of the review suggest that practical concerns assume priority over theoretical issues, which are relegated to secondary importance. This can be explained in terms of the role of the state in education reform and governance and its top–down decision-making processes, the impact of globalization on education, and the role of education in the management of race relations in the country.

Linguistics is the scientific study of language and its structure that is associated with the knowledge systems while communicating across cultures. It is a developed form of grammar, including other aspects of language such as sound system, letters, words, sentences and meanings. It has three main branches such as historical linguistics, comparative linguistics and descriptive linguistics. It can also be categorized into two types: theoretical linguistics and applied linguistics. There are other types of linguistics as well that include language teaching, lexicology, stylistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, translation studies, computational linguistics and narratology are some examples of applied linguistics. Based on these branches of linguistics, there are hundreds of linguistic semantics to be leant in the study of language and its structure. In this paper, they are exemplified as lexical structures of language and linguistic semantics.]
