Communication Arts, Linguistics and Butsekik

[For Pinoy's Use Also]

I studied Linguistics (it's a graduate school thing) and was briefly drawn to it for its sheer complexity. Unfortunately, my simple mind could not keep up plus na-brain freeze ako sa kalagitnaan ng pag-iintindi sa mga konsepto. Buti nga walang nose bleeding, eh.

Questions

1. Can anyone tell me what are the underlying universals in this linguistic form?


2. How does all the fields of linguistic come to play in this song?


3. What theoretical occurrence can be predicted from this as derived from an emerging framework?

Linguistics is the scientific study of language. It endeavours to answer the question--what is language and how is represented in the mind? Linguists focus on describing and explaining language and are not concerned with the prescriptive rules of the language (ie., do not split infinitives).

The underlying goal of the linguist is to try to discover the universals concerning language. That is, what are the common elements of all languages. The linguist then tries to place these elements in a theoretical framework that will describe all languages and also predict what can not occur in a language.
