The Structure of English Language

We can study the structure of language in a variety of ways. For example, we can study

  • classes of words (parts of speech),
  • meanings of words (semantics), with or without considering changes of meaning,
  • how words are organised in relation to each other (syntax),
  • how words are formed (morphology),
  • the sounds of words (phonology) and
  • how written forms represent these (lexicography).
