According to Brinton (2000: 10), "Linguistics is defined as the study of language systems." Language systems relate to four components: phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. Brinton claims that each of the four parts (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics) has its own language system. The system learns based on each piece.
Meyer (2009: 2), on the other hand, claims that "The study of language is conducted within the field of linguistics."
Similarly, Crystal (2010: 239) states, "Linguistics is the science of language." Linguists are those who study language in this manner." Meyer and Crystal both believe that language is the fundamental element in linguistics that will separate them and develop science investigations. Because the language is so big, all languages throughout the world have many elements in common, according to Brinton's perspective of the system. In this way, the system is similar to a collection of pieces that will eventually combine to form a complete language.
According to Hornby, Gatenby, and Wakefield (1961: 733), as stated in Pateda (2011: 1), "Linguistics as an adjective 'of the study of language and languages' whereas linguistic word as a noun 'the science of language';'methods of learning; and studying languages'." Linguist (N) is defined as "a person who is skilled in foreign languages." They meant two-word classes, adjective and noun, as defined by the concept of linguistic, one for learning about languages and the other for understanding of language itself.
