advantages and disadvantages of linguistic communication
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Advantages-
1. Studying languages and the properties of languages is awesome.
2. Studying linguistics gives you a great insight into other academic fields such as psychology/neuroscience, sociology, philosophy, and computer science.
3. Linguistic theory has been a game-changer in how scientists look at human development and evolution.
4. Linguists are very marketable- understanding both the principles of communication and human behavior is highly valued in the corporate world.
5. Linguistics as an academic field is a relatively new field of study, meaning there is much more to discover about human language.
Disadvantages-
Many people are turned off by the abstractness of linguistic theory.
We still don’t know so much about human and animal language, the meaning theory is based on assumption and not fact.
Linguistics is a very competitive field. Jumping on the bandwagon is easy but creating original or groundbreaking ideas/empirical contradictions is not.
Linguistic datasets are extremely large, meaning there is a higher chance of statistical error or bias.
Career prospects may be limited with a degree/qualification in linguistics alone.
