Linguisticreconstruction is the practice of establishing the features of the unattested ancestor proto language of one or more given languages. There are two kinds of reconstruction. Internal reconstruction uses irregularities in a single language to make inferences about an earlier stage of that language. Comparative reconstruction , usually referred to just as reconstruction , establishes features of the ancestor of two or more related languages by means of the comparative method . Reconstructed terms or phrases are prefaced with an asterisk , to distinguish them from attested terms.

Critics denounce linguistic discrimination as a violation of linguistic rights . Discrimination against minority language is an aspect of linguistic imperialism . While linguistic discrimination was common in Europe during the formation of nation states in the 19th century, it was countered by opposing trends of linguistic protectionism and language revival in the 20th century. Examples the Coptic language . At the turn of the 8th century, Caliph Abd al Malik ibn Marwan decreed that Arabic language Arabic replace Koine Greek and Coptic as the sole administrative language. Literary Coptic gradually declined such that within a few hundred years, and suffered violent persecutions especially under the Mamluk s, leading to its virtual extinction by the 17th century.

Kufa Journal ref 1 A technique used in phonetics whereby aspiring practitioners of the subject are trained to control the use of their vocal organs 2 A term used in the linguistic theory of transformational generative grammar , referring to language being seen as a set of specific utterances produced by native speakers It is also one of the two elements in Noam Chomsky Chomsky s performance competence distinction, which relates to Language production parole , with an emphasis upon how this is different from Linguistic competence Competence , or the mental knowledge of language itself. Linguistic performance does not simply reflect the intrinsic sound meaning connections established by the system of linguistic rules. It involves many other factors as well. For instance, extra linguistic beliefs concerning the speaker and the situation play a fundamental role in determining how speech is produced, identified and understood. Furthermore, it is governed by principles of cognitive structure such as memory limitations, distractions, shifts of attention and interest, and errors random or characteristic that are technically not considered as aspects of language. ref Noam Chomsky. 2006 .

Wittgenstein The linguistic turn was a major development in Western philosophy during the 20th century, the most important characteristic of which is the attention focusing of philosophy and the other humanities primarily on the relationship between philosophy and language. Very different intellectual movements were associated with the linguistic turn , although the term itself is commonly thought to be popularised by Richard Rorty s 1967 anthology The Linguistic Turn , in which it is taken to mean the turn towards linguistic philosophy . According to Rorty, who later disassociated himself from linguistic philosophy and analytic philosophy generally, the phrase the linguistic turn originated with the Austrian philosopher Gustav Bergmann . ref Rorty, Wittgenstein, Heidegger, and the Reification of Language in Essays on Heidegger and Others ref . In the tradition of analytical philosophy, according to Michael Dummett the linguistic movement first took shape in Gottlob Frege s 1884 work The Foundations on Arithmetic , specifically paragraph 62 where Frege explores the identity of a numerical proposition . ref Dummet, Frege Philosophy of Mathematics ref This concern for the logic of propositions ...

A linguistic universal is a pattern that occurs systematically across natural language s, potentially true for all of them . For example, All languages have noun s and verbs , or If a language is spoken, it has consonant s and vowel s. Research in this area of linguistics is closely tied to the study of linguistic typology , and intends to reveal generalizations across languages, likely tied to cognition , perception , or other abilities of the mind. The field was largely pioneered by the linguist Joseph Greenberg , who derived a set of forty five basic universals, mostly dealing with syntax see the Greenberg s linguistic universals list , from a study of some thirty languages. Terminology Linguists distinguish between two kinds of universals absolute opposite statistical , often called tendencies and implicational opposite non implicational .

Determinism itself refers to the viewpoint that all events are caused by previous events, and linguistic determinism can be used broadly to refer to a number of specific views. For example, those who follow analytic philosophy from Ludwig Wittgenstein onward might accept the proposition that, as Wittgenstein said in the Tractatus Logico Philosophicus , The limits of my language mean the limits of my world. proposition 5.6 , The subject does not belong to the world, but it is a limit of the world. proposition 5.632 and About what one can not speak, one must remain silent. proposition 7 .

In sociolinguistics , the linguistic marketplace refers to the theory that the value of a speaker s choice of language depends on his or her role in society. Sociolinguist Jack Chambers linguist J.K. Chambers has written that listeners place more value on the language of professionals of language, such as teachers, authors, and lawyers, than they do on that of chemists or engineers. They similarly place more value on technicians of language, like actors and secretaries, because these jobs require more interaction with other people and greater proficiency with words. The need to find employment strongly influences the spoken language , Chambers wrote, usually pushing the speaker towards a standardized tongue or the most prestigious one used in the area. When a lower value is placed on language in occupations requiring little need to talk with others, that push towards standardization does not occur. The linguistic marketplace also plays a significant role in the ways that the speech of women and men differ, as well as that of various age levels.
