• Applied linguistics [r]: The application of linguistic theories to practical issues and problems, such as language learning. ^[e]
• Corpus linguistics [r]: The study of language as expressed in samples (corpora) or 'real world' text. ^[e]
• Creole (language) [r]: Native language, such as Haitian Creole, which under most definitions originated as a pidgin (a rudimentary language without native speakers, created by at least two groups of speakers as a contact language. i.e. to allow immediate communication) but became as complex as any other language through being acquired by children as a first language. ^[e]
• Creolistics [r]: The study of creole and pidgin languages. ^[e]
• First language acquisition [r]: Study of the processes through which humans acquire language, specifically first languages, which studies infants' acquisition of their native language. ^[e]
• Generative linguistics [r]: School of thought within linguistics that makes use of the concept of a generative grammar. ^[e]
• Language acquisition [r]: The study of how language comes to users of first and second languages. ^[e]
• Lexicon [r]: Complete set of vocabulary units for a language, including information on their structural specifications (semantic, morphological, syntactic and phonological properties, plus how they inter-relate); also, the mental representation of this lexical knowledge and, in casual usage, a synonym for vocabulary. The word is also common in the titles of dictionaries of Arabic, Aramaic/Syriac, ancient Greek and Hebrew. ^[e]
• Linguistics [r]: The scientific study of language. ^[e]
• Massachusetts Institute of Technology [r]: A private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts with a strong emphasis on scientific and technological research. ^[e]
• Nativism (psychology) [r]: theory that certain traits of a species emerge from a mind that is already prepared for its environment, e.g. the language ability is not learned but 'acquired' due to innate processes. ^[e]
• Phoneme [r]: Theoretical unit of language that can distinguish words or syllables, such as /b/ versus /m/; often considered the smallest unit of language, but is a transcription convention rather than a true unit in most models of phonology since the 1960s. ^[e]
• Phonology [r]: In linguistics, the study of the system used to represent language, including sounds in spoken language and hand movements in sign language. ^[e]
• Politics [r]: The process by which human beings living in communities make decisions and establish obligatory values for their members. ^[e]
• Psycholinguistics [r]: Study of the psychological and neurobiological factors that enable humans to acquire, use, comprehend and produce language. ^[e]
• Psychology [r]: The study of systemic properties of the brain and their relation to behaviour. ^[e]
• Speech Recognition [r]: The ability to recognize and understand human speech, especially when done by computers. ^[e]
• Syllable [r]: Unit of organisation in phonology that divides speech sounds or sign language movements into groups to which phonological rules may apply. ^[e]
• Syntax (linguistics) [r]: The study of the rules, or 'patterned relations', that govern the way words combine to form phrases and phrases to form sentences. ^[e]
• The Sound Pattern of English [r]: A landmark work on the rules of English phonology by Noam Chomsky and Morris Halle, which importantly rejected the phoneme as a true phonological unit; subsequently built upon by other analyses that recognised the syllable and other units of prosodic organisation. ^[e]
