What's A Person Who Studies/studied English Language Called? by Nobody: 10:21pm On Jun 10, 2018 |
So, months back while in my friend's room, her room mate asked a question and it goes; "A person who studies/studied English language is called what? Well, I said he/she is a linguist, and she asked if I was sure. Told her to check on google, but she said she couldn't find the answer to it on google. Just this night, I remembered to ask a linguist in my room the same question, and she said I was wrong as studying a language doesn't make one a linguist, but she can't answer the question. Where are my English and Literature students? What's a person who studies/studied English Language called? |

A linguistic is the scientific study of language and its structure, including the study of grammar, syntax, and phonetics. We have various type of linguistics. They include linguistic in English, linguistic in French , linguistic in Yoruba, Linguistic in Efik and among others. A person who studies a language is called a linguist. Hence if I study French or English I am a linguist 166 Likes 8 Shares |

asuustrike2009: I strongly disagree with this. In most English Speaking Countries anyone who has a strong and formal understanding of a "Foreign" language(s) could be termed a Linguist. Thus if you have have a strong formal grasp of French, calling you a linguist would not be far off. However you would not be termed a linguist because you studied "English" in an "English" speaking country as: 1. it is not foreign to us 2. Most of the course has to do with English literature and logical thinking and not the scientific "break down" of the language as you highlighted. The answer is: 1. An English Graduate in the UK and most of the CommonWealth 2. An English Major in the US. Therefore you should only be termed a Linguist in an English Speaking country if: 1. You have mastered Foreign Languages; OR 2. You study Linguistics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_studies 20 Likes 5 Shares |

asuustrike2009: I think that is self explanatory. He would not be considered a linguist unless he masters foreign languages (non- French in this case) or studies linguistics. 4 Likes |
