Linguistic structures are pairings of meaning and sound or other forms of externalization.
A Linguists may specialize in some subpart of the following linguistic structure:
- Phonetics, the study of the physical aspects of sounds of humanHuman Ο άνθρωπος (Humanum> Homo sapiens) मानव:. We have failed to consider the minimum need to be a 'human'. For Christians, human beings are sinful creatures, who need some saviour. For Evolution biology a man is still evolving, for what, we don´t know. For Buddhist Nagarjuna, the realisation of having a human body is a mere mental illusion. We are not ready to accept that a human is a computer made of meat. For a slave master, a human person is another animal, his sons and daughters are his personal property. language
- Phonology, the study of patterns of a language’s sounds
- Morphology, the study of the internal structure of words
- Syntax, the study of how words combine to form grammatical sentences

- Evolutionary linguistics, the study of the origin and subsequent development of language
- Psycholinguistics, the study of the cognitive processes and representations underlying language use
- Sociolinguistics, the study of social patterns of linguistic variability
- Clinical linguistics, the application of linguistic theory to the area of SpeechSpeech 400 million years ago, the larynx was developed and allowed for communication with other animals. 60 million years ago, human beings talked about Dynosure or like animals in India. The vocal tract was in place to support modern human discourse as early as 300,000 years ago in the Indian subcontinent. -Language Pathology

- Biolinguistics, the study of natural as well as human taught communication systems in animals compared to human language
- Computational linguistics, the study of computational implementations of linguistic structures
- Applied linguistics, the study of language related issues applied in every day life, notably language policies and language education
