Hello

The key difference between linguistics and applied linguistics is that linguistics is the scientific study of the structure and development of language in general or of particular languages whereas applied linguistics is the branch of linguistics focusing on the practical applications of language studies.

Linguistics is the scientific study of language. It involves language form, language meaning, and language in context.  Basically, it studies how language is formed, how it functions and how people use it. Linguistics also explores various language-related phenomena such as language variation, language acquisition, language change over time and, language storage and process in the human brain.

Applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary field which identifies, investigates, and offers solutions to language-related real-life problems. Some of the academic fields related to applied linguistics are education, psychology, communication research, anthropology, and sociology.

Hope it helps

Hi Shrizzle

In a Linguistics degree, you learn about the analysis of language, the way it is structured, how it changes over time and how people learn or acquire languages. The degree helps you to learn good communication, ideation and presentation skills along with thinking critically and analytically.

Some direct career paths after the degree are that of a lexicographer, speech and language therapist, linguistics professor, proofreader or a translator. You can also make a good fit for jobs in marketing, journalism and law.

• Lexicographer: They write, compile and edit dictionaries for native speakers, learners of English, professionals and bilingual speakers. They monitor and record new words and check its accuracy along with doing some editorial tasks.
• Technical writers: They produce content in close collaboration with graphic designers, user experience designers, software developers and testers. The role chiefly involves collecting information, planning content and writing technical documentation to educate consumers about a product or service in the form of manuals, whitepapers, business correspondence, etc.
• Forensic linguists: They perform language analysis on emergency calls, suicide letters, threat communication and social media during legal proceedings in order to help solve crimes. They also involve in dealing with trademark disputes, author identification and language analysis.
• Translator: Working in translation, your typical day will involve liaising with clients, consulting specialist dictionaries and using reference books to find precise translations for industry jargon. You may also get to work in an embassy as a translator/ interpreter.

Hello,

MA linguistic is highly specialized course. Unless you are very serious about MA linguistic. You better think of other courses. Now talking about the preparation for entrance exam, entrance test would certainly include question on grammar, phonetic, phonology, morphology, logical reasoning etc. Questio paper of last year as model you can prepare on those lines

Lingustics Minoriity reservation is given at State level. Now because you belong to Karnataka, to claim this reservation, you should fill this option during filling Karnataka Registration form for State Counselling and so you will submit the document during Document verification, Prabha. Linguistic Minority reservation is available at State level and not All India level and so you need to submit the relevant documents during State Counselling document verification.

MA Linguistics at EFLU, I must say, is a highly specialized course. Unless you are very serious about MA Linguistics and are aware of its prospects, you had better think of other courses. MA English under Cafeteria (choice based) system at EFLU allows you to do courses in Linguistics (such as Phonetics, Syntax, Linguistics, Phonology etc) in addition to courses in English Literature. Please go through the website for details of modules offered under MA English as well as MA Linguistics.

If you take admission to MA English (provided you clear the entrance test), you can fulfill your ambition of Linguistics and also get an MA English degree, which has more openings. It is not to belittle Linguistics. One has to have that specialized aptitude for it.

EFLU is perhaps currently the best place to do Linguistics, besides JNU and HCU in that order. In other universities, the courses are General Linguistics. In EFLU, it is English Linguistics.

Now, the entrance test would certainly include questions on grammar, phonetics, phonology, morphology, logical reasoning etc. After the courses are advertised, the university posts on its website, the question paper of last year as a model. One can prepare on those lines.

Best wishes. Thank-you.
