Linguistics is the science of languages, and the major concern of all the Linguists is largely related to the finding
and describing the characteristics of a particular language(s). Applied linguistics takes the result of those findings
and ‘applies’ them to other areas. The term ‘applied linguistics’ is often used to refer to the use of linguistic
research in language teaching only, but results of linguistic research are used in many other areas especially
English language teaching (ELT) in general and English as a foreign language(EFL) in particular.
Linguistic analysis is a sub-discipline of applied linguistics used by many researchers, pedagogues and
educationalists by diagnosing learning difficulties and solving such problems including looking for a compatible
strategy.
