Applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary field of study that identifies, investigates, and offers solutions to language related real life problems. Some of the academic fields related to applied linguistics are education , linguistics , psychology , computer science , anthropology , and sociology . Linguistics Domain Major branches of applied linguistics include bilingualism and multilingualism , computer mediated communication CMC , conversation analysis , contrastive linguistics , Sign language Linguistics of sign sign linguistics , language assessment , literacy literacies , discourse analysis ..., stylistics, pragmatics , forensic linguistics , and translation . Major journals of the field include Annual Review of Applied Linguistics , Applied Linguistics , International Review of Applied Linguistics , International Journal of Applied Linguistics , Issues in Applied Linguistics , and Language Learning .

In the early days, applied linguistics was thought as linguistics applied at least from the outside of the field. In the 1960s, however, applied linguistics .... As early as the 1970s, applied linguistics became a problem driven field rather than theoretical linguistics . Applied linguistics also included solution of language related problems in the real world. By the 1990s, applied linguistics has broadened including critical studies and multilingualism.

unreferenced article date June 2010 In signal processing and digital audio , quantization is the process of approximating a continuous range of values or a very large set of possible discrete values by a relatively small set of discrete symbols or integer values. This article describes aspects of quantization related to sound signals. After sampling signal processing sampling , sound signals are usually represented by one of a fixed number of values, in a process known as pulse code modulation PCM . Some specific issues related to quantization of audio signals follow. Audio quantization Telephone applications frequently use 8 bit quantization. That is, values of the analogue waveform are rounded to the closest of 256 distinct voltage values represented by an 8 bit binary number. This crude quantization introduces substantial quantization noise into the signal, but the result is still more than adequate to represent human speech. By comparison, compact disc s use a 16 bit digital representation, allowing 65,536 distinct voltage levels. This is far better than telephone quantization, but CD audio representing low signal levels would still sound noticeably granular because of the quantizing noise. However, sometimes an addition of a small amount of noise is added to the signal before digitization. This deliberately added noise is known as dither . Adding dither eliminates this granularity, and gives very low distortion, but at the expense of a small increase in noise level. Measured using ITU R 468 noise weighting , this is about 66dB below alignment level , or 84dB below FS full ... quantization 24 bit audio is sometimes used undithered, because for most audio equipment and situations ... 24dB or more rather than 18dB to be left on the recording without encountering quantization errors at low ... noise in intermediate stages of filtering .

In Computer Science , Learning Vector Quantization LVQ , is a prototype prototype based supervised learning supervised Statistical classification classification algorithm . LVQ is the supervised counterpart of vector quantization systems. Overview LVQ can be understood as a special case of an artificial neural network , more precisely, it applies a winner take all Hebbian learning based approach. It is a precursor to Self organizing map s SOM and related to Neural gas , and to the k Nearest Neighbor algorithm k NN . LVQ was invented by Teuvo Kohonen . ref T. Kohonen. Self Organizing Maps. Springer, Berlin, 1997. ref An LVQ system is represented by prototypes W w i ,...,w n which are defined in the feature space of observed data. In winner take all training algorithms one determines, for each data point, the prototype which is closest to the input according to a given distance measure. The position of this so called winner prototype is then adapted, i.e. the winner is moved closer if it correctly classifies the data point or moved away if it classifies the data point incorrectly. An advantage of LVQ is that it creates prototypes that are easy to interpret for experts in the respective application domain. ref T. Kohonen. Learning vector quantization. In M.A. Arbib, editor, The Handbook of Brain Theory and Neural Networks., pages 537 540.

It is used in a variety of practical applications, see http liinwww.ira.uka.de bibliography Neural SOM.LVQ.html for an extensive bibliography. A key issue in LVQ is the choice of an appropriate measure of distance or similarity for training and classification.

Unreferenced date March 2007 Stratificational Linguistics is a view of linguistics advocated by Sydney Lamb . His theories advocate that language usage and production is stratificational in nature. Specifically, that there are separate strata or levels in the brain used for language. Each level provides actualization or realization for the next higher level, and the elements on its level are similar to each other. Several strata are involved in the production of a sound from an initial idea. Some strata include Phoneme as the unit on the Phonemic strata. Lexeme as a unit on the Lexical strata. Morpheme as the unit on the Morphemic strata Sememe as the unit on the Semantic strata.

For the minimal unit of meaning in linguistics morpheme The term morphome was introduced by the linguist Mark Aronoff to describe purely morphology linguistics morphological functions in linguistics. An example is the different ways the perfect participle can be realised in English sometimes, this form is created through suffix ation, as in gotten and left , sometimes through a process of ablaut , as in sung , and sometimes through a combination of these, such as broken , which uses ablaut as well as the suffix n . Since these processes, which achieve the same result, are of different categories, it is not possible to call the formation of the perfect participle in English a suffix, so it must be assumed that it exists as an abstract category on the morphomic level. ref cite book last Aronoff first Mark title Morphology by Itself year 1994 publisher MIT Press location Cambridge ref In distinguishing this additional level, the empirical claim is made that the mapping from the morphosyntactic level to the level of phonological reality is not direct, but passes through the intermediate morphomic level.

Contrastive linguistics is a practice oriented linguistics linguistic approach that seeks to describe the differences and similarities between a pair of languages hence it is occasionally called differential linguistics . History While traditional linguistic studies had developed comparative methods comparative linguistics , chiefly to demonstrate family relations between cognate languages, or to illustrate the historical developments of one or more languages, modern contrastive linguistics intends to show in what ways the two respective languages differ, in order to help in the solution of practical problems. Sometimes the terms diachronic linguistics and synchronic linguistics are used to refer to these two perspectives. Contrastive linguistics, since its inception by Robert Lado in the 1950s, has often been linked to aspects of applied linguistics , e.g., to avoid Linguistic interference interference errors in foreign language learning, as advocated by Di Pietro 1971 ref Di Pietro, R.J. 1971 Language Structures in Contrast , Newbury House. ref see also contrastive analysis , to assist interlingual transfer in the process of translation translating texts from one language into another .... 1997 Communication across Cultures.
