Modern linguistics encompasses both synchronic (studying language at a specific point in time) and diachronic (studying language change over time) approaches. While synchronic analysis focuses on the structure of language systems, diachronic analysis explores how languages evolve and change. Both perspectives contribute to our understanding of language.
