LINGUISTICS OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND ITS STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS
Abstract
This article explores the field of linguistics as it pertains to the English language, focusing on its structural components such as phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. The research examines how these components interact to form meaning and communication in English. The study also highlights the relevance of modern linguistic approaches, including cognitive, sociolinguistic, and psycholinguistic perspectives, in understanding the evolution and global role of English.
