MACROLINGUISTICS:
MICROLINGUISTICS: It is a branch of linguistics that concerns itself with the study of language systems in the abstract, without regard to the meaning of expressions. The language is reduced to the abstract elements of syntax and phonology. Thus the language is analyzed for their own sake and without reference to their social function.
It is a field of study concerned with the language in its broadest sense and including cultural and behavioural features associated with language. It embraces different aspects of language.
Semantics: the study of meaning, changes in meaning and the principles that govern the relation ship between sentences or words and their meanings.
Sociolinguistics: a descriptive study of the effects of any and all aspects of society on the way language is used and the effects of language used on society.
Ethnomethodology: It refers to the analysis and interpretation of every spoken interaction.
Macrolinguistics
Discourse Analysis: It is concerned with how we build up “meaning” in the larger communicative rather than grammatical units, meaning in a text, paragraph, conversation, etc rather than a single sentence.
Speech-act Theory: an approach to the meaning of language which stresses the use made of language, rather than the literal meaning of the combined words. Emphasis what we do with language rather than what we say.

Mixing Levels:Nowadays mixing is sometimes necessary to account for some fact of language.
TWO STEPS
The stage of description
The stage of juxtaposition for comparison
Crossing levels: Examples
We knew where it was: Sabíamos donde estaba
We found out where it was: Supimos donde estaba
From lexis to
grammar
I don´t lend my books to anyone: Je ne prete pas mes livres

n´importe qui

Personne
From phonology to lexis
Lo conoces You know him
Lo conoces? Do you know him?
From phonology to grammar
All these are examples of: Interlingual level shift
CATEGORIES OF GRAMMAR
There are four categories : unit, structure, class and system.
They are universal , that is they are necessary and sufficient as a basis for the description of any
language.
Category: UNIT
The Units of grammar are:
Sentence – Clause – Phrase – Word - Morpheme
Rank Scale
UNIT
In CA a single sentence in L1 correspond on a one-to-one basis with a single sentence in L2.Example:
1)- Ix povitaskal (R): I've finished dragging them out in all directions one at a time (E)
2)- Salimos anoche (S): Nous sommes sortis heir soir (F)
3)- Dash: caminar con prisa Gaze: mirar fijamente y por un largo tiempo Peer: mirar algo con atencion, detenidamente Mutter: hablar bajo, entre dientes
CA is concerned with the possibilities of maintaining 1:1 correspondence of units at ranks below sentence.Example:
UNIT
The pupil (who has fallen asleep) is Peter. (E)Der eingeschlafene Schuler ist Peter. (G)
Interlingual Rank Shift
(R)Ona docitala etu knigu
(E) She has finished reading the book

Category: STRUCTURE
“A structure is an arrangement of elements ordered in “places”
(Halliday)
Example: Tom (S) took (P) the keys(C) from the
table (A)
STRUCTURE
CA have traditionally focused on the category structure: linear arrangement of clauses, phrases and words
Examples:
1)- My father, who plays chess, is very patient.Mein Vater, der Schach spielt, ist sehr geduldig.Clause
2)- La porte étroite / La casa blanca The white house Phrase
3)- Past participle: gespielt / played Nouns plurals: Apfel-Apfel: / Apple-Apples Word
Category: CLASS
There are restrictions on which units can operate at given places in structures.
Example:
V Londone tumano (R) : * In London is foggy (E)
London is foggy
…eine unter meinem Wagen schelafende Katze… : * a sleeping under my car cat…
…A cat sleeping under my car…
Category: SYSTEM
Each language allows its speaker choices from sets of elements which are not determined by the place which the element occupies in the structure.
CHOICE: “The selection of one particular term at one particular place on the chain in preference to another term or other terms which are also possible at that place”
Systems operate over the domains of units: systems of sentences, of clauses, of groups, of words and of morphemes.
Example: systems at clause rank: “mood”
Indicative Imperative
Declarative Interrogative
Language may differ, not in demanding different structural exponents, but in offering different ranges of options.
System number
Singular vs. Plural (E)
Singular,Plural,Dual (A)
System of case
Common andGenitive (E)
Nominative, accusative, genitive, instrumental, prepositional and dative (R)
