List of language subsystems
- List of language subsystems
This is a terminological list that collects terms used to denote (types of) “communicative subsystems” of a language (a communicative system). Each of them may have its sphere of application, some of them might be synonymous, and also, when "language" is used in a broad sense, the objects denoted by the terms are languages.
* Standard language.
There are five major language subsystems that are common to competent speakers of a language:
* Phonology- the system of sounds in a language, the rules for combining these sounds into words and proper stress and intonation of sentences.
* Semantics- the meaning attached to words and sentences.
* Morphology- the system for combining units of meaning to make words or modify word meaning.
* Syntax- rules for organizing words into phrases.
* Pragmatics- a set of rules governing when to use language and what sort of language should be used in front of members of certain groups.
