Summary
Based on the video, we know that linguistics involves lessons in syntax, semantics, morphology, phonetics, and phonology. Linguistics or language help us to interact with other through face to face or through social media.
Firstly, in syntax we learn about structure of language. From this lesson we will know how subject, verb, objective can be arranged to make one perfect sentence. After that, in linguistic we also learn about semantics that teaches us about the meaning of language. From this topic it can helps us to understand something that someone says without hesitation and prevents us from misunderstanding something that others say.
Moreover, in linguistics we also study about morphology that teaches us about structure of words. From this topic it helps us to know how the word being formed and their relationship to other words in same language. After that, we also learn about phonetics that teaches us about properties of sound. Phonetics help us pro at speaking. For an example, it helps us in decoding words and pronouncing it correctly.
Lastly, in study of linguistic, we also learn about how phonology is used in linguistics and in a what way it will helps us. Phonology is about patterns of sounds that we can break in a new word to understand the real sound or pronunciation of the word and to explain why it sound the way it does. Phonology also deal with the area of stress, rhythm, and intonation which can have direct effects on meaning, questioning form or understanding.
In conclusion, linguistics can help us more matured in language to make people around us more understand in about what we like to talk whether in a face-to-face conversation or on social media conversation.
Question
1.Why language is important to human?
Language is important to human because it help human to do communication, for an example when people communicate with each other but talk the difference language then it will be a one-way communication. Moreover, language also help people to do conversation like talk each other about some topic and both sides feel understood. Furthermore, language also important to human because it help people do collaboration like thinking, planning, and making decisions. Lastly, it is important to human because it can make easier human to do co-creation.
2.How linguistic applied in AI can help human?
Linguistic applied in AI can help human to do translation about something that they can’t understand. After that, linguistic applied in AI also provide people to use application like Grammar correction or writing tools to help people to checks for grammar and not only for that, but also clarity, whether it can engage readers, and also delivery. Moreover, linguistic that apply in AI also create systems in Computers that can handle human natural language.
3.What the difference between the first-language acquisition and second-language acquisition?
The difference between the first-language acquisition and second-language acquisition is the first- language acquisition is the first language that we learned as a child and it is also have six stages in children’s first language acquisition like Pre-talking stage, Babbling stage, Holophrastic stage, The two-word stage, Telegraphic stage, and Later multiword stage. While the second-language acquisition is the learning of a second language additionally to their first language and it is the process of learning any language after the first language whether it is the second, third or fourth language. Second-language acquisition also have five predictable stages that is preproduction, early production, speech emergence, intermediate fluency, and advanced fluency (Krashen & Terrell, 1983).

​
n this unit, I have study about linguistic. What that I learn from this topic is linguistic is about the human capacity for language and what it indicates about the nature of the human brain. After that, I use information about the linguistic that I learn and do some question that related to this topic to help me more understand about this topic. For an example, I ask about why language is important to human, how linguistic applied in AI can help human, and what the difference between the first-language acquisition and second-language acquisition.
​
Other than that, after I study about this topic, I’m also know what is the important of linguistic. The important of linguistic is it can help people to has an intermediate language that can help people to do communication. For an example, when people communicate with each other but talk the difference language then it will be a one-way communication. Moreover, language also help people to do conversation like talk each other about some topic and both sides feel understood. Furthermore, language also important to human because it help people do collaboration like thinking, planning, and making decisions. Lastly, it is important to human because it can make easier human to do co-creation.
​
Next, from the study of the linguistic also help me know where could I can use it or applying in my daily life. The knowledge about this topic can be use every time that I want to talk to other people. Moreover, I also can use it to do some translation in computer or use application like Grammar correction or writing tools to help me to checks for grammar and not only for that, but also clarity, whether it can engage readers, and also delivery. Other than that, I also can use linguistic that apply in AI that can handle human natural language to improve my fluency in language.
​
Furthermore, after I analysing this topic I see many pattern in what I did. This is because from this topic I know in which way that linguistic that can help me and how it related to me. For an example, I know in what month, years or age that I will learn about language, not only that but I also know that all human babies can learn at least one language system naturally and in which part of age that I will learn about first-language acquisition and second-language acquisition and what must I do to learn this.
After that, from the knowledge that I know about linguistic. I could tell that I was very weak in the second language that I learn because I did not learn the language according to the age range of what previous researchers had studied with their theories like Behaviourist theory and other theory.
Hence, in my opinion I must creating some plan or strategies in what I should do next to help me to master many languages ​​to help me understand about something and to make it easier for me to interact with others people smoothly and well without problems, so I can communicate to people, do conversation, do collaboration and co-creation to any people without problems.
