The Magical Majesty of Linguistics

<p>“The Magical Majesty of Linguistics” discusses the<br>significance of Linguistics, the Structural approach and<br>Cognitive approaches of Language learning. The structural<br>approach builds the syllabus on structures and grammatical<br>items. In structural methodology, language is viewed as a<br>system of structurally related elements – syllables, words,<br>structures for encoding of the meaning of a sentence and the<br>main characteristics of this approach. It also mentions about<br>Chomsky’s Cognitive approach and refers to the features of<br>language like Arbitrariness, Discreteness, Reflexiveness and<br>Creativity. It concludes saying how, these features helped in<br>forming a language and became a part of accepted usage and<br>shows the difference between applied linguistics and sociolinguistics.</p>
