What are the examples of applied linguistics?

Linguistics is the study of language as a phenomenon, as opposed to the study of particular languages for the purpose of learning how to use them. Noam Chomsky is the most famous figure in linguistics. He postulated that all languages have a similar substructure due to the fact that language learning is instinctual. Basically, a certain number of grammatical rules are hardwired into our brains.
