<p>Linguistics and Applied Linguistics?</p>
<p>Thanks so much

<p>Applied linguistics is just a subfield of linguistics. Linguistics encompasses numerous subfields, the main ones being theoretical linguistics (syntax, semantics, phonology, morphology), applied linguistics (language acquisition, computational linguistics, neurolinguistics, forensic linguistics, etc.), and descriptive linguistics (historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, etc.). As you can see, each subfield breaks down into even more subfields, as do most academic subjects. I’d suggest you read more here: [Linguistics</a> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistics]Linguistics”>Linguistics - Wikipedia)</p>
