Listening and Discussion: Linguists who Invent New Language
The syntax is the rules of how the word makes an order and combines to form phrases and sentences. This involves the correct use of order and organization of the phrases and the sentences and further ability to be able to use complex sentences as the language is developed with the main aim of creating clarity.
Syntax help linguists to develop the structure of a language systematically and structurally. Understanding of elements of syntax language by linguists makes them be able to understand and create essential elements within sentences and create relationships between them. It also plays a significant role in language acquisition, analysis of conversation by thy linguists, semantics, morphology, pragmatics, and analysis of discourse.
Morphology is the word structure and construction and phonology how sound systems ad combination should be done. Therefore, the combined knowledge of the two and syntax help in the strong development of word roots, prefixes, and affixes and correct use of tense when developing and combining the words and sentences to invent a new language that has meaning. Linguists also able to affect mood, tone, and attitude using syntax when creating new languages.
I am given a chance I may try to create phonetics to be able to create and invent new speech sound systems, phonology, semantics, and pragmatics. I may try to develop new language systems in these linguistic areas.
Individuals with training and skills in linguistics and who understand how to invent new languages can either work as speech and language therapists, teaching assistants, lexicographers, teachers for foreign languages, talent agents, editors and proofreaders, accent coaches, among many more.
Conclusion
In summary, knowledge, and understanding of elements of language like syntax, phonology, semantics, morphology, and pragmatics, among others, are significant in helping linguists create and invent a new language to be learned and used by the people.
