Linguistics areas..please contribute

[Francophile1]

Hello,

I am looking in options where to go after my MA, and wanted to find out more about linguistics. I am pretty familiar with Applied linguistics but do not know that much about other areas. I got a minor in linguistics but did not take that many classes.

Could you contribute? List what you are studying and what it entails

 

I.E Semantics-what you study mostly/what it's geared towards etc...

 

Would much appreciate it!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Linguistics I know this helped me in knowing about what I wanted to do as an grad specialty. I haven't started my courses yet but for the most part you can just look at a university's course catalog since they give a good idea about what the linguistics courses do. As for research, just check out a department's research papers

yes I already looked at that but wanted people's input, relevant to what they are studying now

In addition I'd suggest reading the field descriptions on the LSA website: http://www.linguisticsociety.org/resource/articles-domain-linguistics. 

 

I think your question is too broad to answer, really. I also doubt that knowing what particular research question I am interested in will teach you much about the subfield in general.
