Guest Gnome Chomsky Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Might be a stupid question, but it's the same thing, right? Also, if it is the same thing and a school just has plain old "Linguistics" listed as the type of degree they offer, one could assume it's in General/Theoretical Linguistics?
ladyling Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 The best way to be sure is to look at the requirements, faculty profiles, and course offerings. A theoretical program will focus (almost exclusively) on phonetics, phonology, morphology (for programs that treat it separately from phonology or syntax), syntax, and semantics.
ardha Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 there are two main types of Linguistic, Theoretical / General Linguistics and Applied Linguistics. Theoretical Linguistics focuses on morphology, syntax, and phonology. While Applied Linguistics focuses on psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and educational linguistics.
