Linguistics can be subdivided into several branches according to the perspective of the study or to the focus on a certain category of phenomena or hypotheses. John lyons identifies four such distinctions: a) general descriptive; b) diachronic synchronic; c) theoretical applicative; d) macrolinguistic microlinguistic. Microlinguistics is a branch of linguistics that concerns itself with the study of language systems in the abstract, without regard to the meaning or notional content of linguistic expressions. In micro- linguistics, language is reduced to the abstract mental element of syntax and the physical elements of phonology and phonotactics. It contrasts with macro-linguistics, which includes meanings, and especially with sociolinguistics, which studies how language and meaning function within human social systems. Microlinguistics includes phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. Macrolinguistics includes sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, stylistics, discourse analysis, computational linguistics, cognitive linguistics, applied linguistics. Phonetics is the scientific study of speech sounds.
