What Do Linguists Do?
Linguists study both the universal properties and the particular structures of language. Some study the way in which children and non-native speakers acquire language. Linguists also study the geographical and social dialect variations of language.
Bilingual and bicultural communication is of vital interest to those who specialize in teaching English to speakers of other languages, as well as to teachers of other languages.
Some linguists explore the function of the brain and other biological mechanisms in linguistic communication, and some use computers to analyze languages and to model the way language users understand and produce linguistic communication.
What Applications Does 语言学 Have?
语言学 has important applications to other professional fields. Rapid expansion in linguistics has involved fields such as anthropology, computer science, 社会学, hearing and speech sciences, 和教育. Because linguistics plays a pivotal role in current studies dealing with the nature of the human mind, it finds particular application in the fields of 心理学, 教育, and cognitive science.
What Kinds of Jobs Do Linguists Get?
Since linguistics is a relatively new field, there is no fixed area in which only linguists are employed. Most linguists are to be found teaching at universities or connected with organizations that involve research and teaching, development of teaching materials, or field study of the world's languages.
A background in linguistics is useful in fields such as 教育, 图书馆学, artificial intelligence, 心理学, and cognitive science.
A degree or specialization in teaching English to speakers of other languages is valuable in obtaining employment both at home and abroad as a teacher of English as a second or foreign language (TESL/TEFL) or as a teacher of any other language.
The need for bilingual 教育 and English instruction in the public schools has led to a demand for trained linguists in many urban areas throughout the United States.
