Linguistics for language learning and research

Abstract

Linguistics is a science that makes language the object of its study. Linguistics itself is divided into two scopes of learning including, microlinguistics and macrolinguistics. Where each scope has a different purpose, microlinguistics studies only limited to the internal structure of language without applying the knowledge in social life, while macro linguistics studies language in relation to the outside world and the application of the language in social life. Linguistics as a science of language can also be the basis for conducting research, where the object of study is the language itself. In conducting research, researchers can use qualitative or quantitative research methods depending on what problem will be the object of research.
