Phonetics is the science of speech sounds, treating the smallest linguistic units. In this module you will learn about the basics of phonetics, which are consonant- and vowel sounds, as well as prosody. You will also get an insight into the application of the science of phonetics.

Has the English language always remained unchanged? How has it evolved into the language we use today? Historical linguistics looks at how language changes over time, focussing on different aspects such as morphology (= how are words put together?), syntax (= how are sentences formed) and phonology (= what are the sounds of a language).

Comparative Linguistics is a discipline that seeks to formulate general principles of language. This is done by comparing languages and finding shared structures and patterns.

Pragmatics is the part of linguistics that looks at context. Only by mastering the pragmatic side of communication can interpersonal communication be successful.

Computational linguistics is an interdisciplinary field that deals with the application of computer and machine learning methods to the processing of natural language. It aims to understand human language through algorithms and models to enhance tasks such as machine translation, text analysis, and automatic speech recognition.

It is a subfield of linguistics that, through long-lasting records of languages, allows us to gain insights into languages and the communities they are connected to, with the purposes of preserving and learning from them.
