Linguistics aims to understand the nature of language: how it is structured, how it functions in communication, and how it is used in society. It also seeks to uncover the universal principles that underlie all human languages and to explain the variation that exists between languages. Additionally, linguistics aims to apply this knowledge to areas such as language teaching, translation, and language technology.
The aims of historical linguistics are to study and reconstruct the historical development of languages, trace language relationships, and understand how languages change over time. It seeks to uncover patterns of linguistic evolution and migration, providing insights into the origins and dispersal of different language families.
Applied linguistics is another field of linguistics which classifies and offers solutions language related problems in real life. Some of the academic fields that relate to this are psychology and education.
Synchronic liguistics
Comparative linguistics is the study of similarities and differences between languages to reconstruct their common ancestors and trace their historical development. It aims to determine relationships between languages through the comparison of vocabulary, grammar, and sound systems.
