	Linguistics
Sub-fields of structure-focused linguistics include:
 
• Phonetics, the study of the physical properties of speech (or signed) production and perception;
• Phonology, the study of sounds (or signs) as discrete, abstract elements in the speaker's mind that distinguish meaning;
• Morphology, the study of internal structures of words and how they can be modified;
• Syntax, the study of how words combine to form grammatical sentences;
• Semantics, the study of the meaning of words and fixed word combinations, and how these combine to form the logical, meaningful sentences;
• Pragmatics, the study of how utterances are used in communicative acts, and the role played by context and nonlinguistic knowledge in the transmission of meaning;
• Discourse analysis, the analysis of language use in texts (spoken, written, or signed).
• SUBJECT - The subject of a sentence or clause is the part of the sentence or clause about which something is being said. It is usually the doer of the action. It is a noun or a pronoun. All of the subjects on this page are italicized.
• PREDICATE - The predicate of a sentence is that part of the sentence which says something about the subject. It expresses the action of the sentence or the condition of the subject.
Example: Romans (SUBJECT) were powerful warriors and devoted citizens. (PREDICATE)
• DIRECT OBJECT - A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of a verb or shows the result of the action. It answers the question "What?" or "Whom?" after an action verb. An action verb with a direct object is called a transitive verb.
Example: Josh received a letter.
• INDIRECT OBJECT - An indirect object precedes the direct object and tells to whom or for whom the action of the verb is done and who is receiving the direct object. There must be a direct object to have an indirect object. Indirect objects are usually found with verbs of giving or communicating like give, bring, tell, show, take, or offer. An indirect object is always a noun or pronoun which is not part of a prepositional phrase.
Example: She gave me the report.
