Background According to globalization era, many changes about relation between semantic, semiotics, syntax, phonology and phonetics, sociolinguistics and education language which include in linguistics. Linguistics is the scientific study of human language. Linguistics can be broadly broken into three categories or subfields: the study of language form, of language meaning, and of language in context. The first is the study of language structure, or grammar. This focuses on the systems of rules that are followed by speakers or a language. It encompasses morphology (the formation and composition of words), syntax (the formation and composition of phrases and sentences from these words), and phonology (sound systems). Phonetics is a related branch of linguistics concerned with the actual properties of speech sounds, nonspeech sounds, and how they are produced and perceived. The study of language meaning is concerned with how language users make the inferences required to understand another's speech, how meaning is assigned and processed, and ambiguity. This subfield encompasses semantics (how meaning is inferred from words and concepts) and pragmatics (how meaning is inferred from context). Although linguistics is the scientific study of language, a number of other intellectual disciplines are relevant to language and influence its study. Semiotics, for example, is the general study of signs and symbols both within language and without language. Problem identification How children or adults acquire language; and discourse analysis, which involves the structure of texts through linguistics? How relationship among semantics, semiotics, syntax, phonology and phonetics, sociolinguistics and education language?

Purpose Every people doing mini research always have a different purpose. In this occasion I want to try to describing my analysis about it. The purposes of mini research are: To know how far relationship between semantics, semiotics, syntax, phonology and phonetics, sociolinguistics and education language. To more understand what include to linguistics. To know synchronization between all part of linguistics

Approach Recently, many people doing the mini research about things which include in linguistics, through this mini research we will do approaching to know what problem of linguistics. We will know it if we analyze about relations between semantics, semiotics, syntax, phonology and phonetics, sociolinguistics, and language education. As the result, this mini research can get the comparison into knowledge of linguistics. And also People need to learn a second language because of globalization, connections are becoming inevitable among nations, states and organizations which creates a huge need for knowing another language or more multilingualism. The uses of common languages are in areas such as trade, tourism international relations between governments, technology, media and science. Theory Semantics Semantics is the study of meaning. It is a wide subject within the general study of language. An understanding of semantics is essential to the study of language acquisition (how language users acquire a sense of meaning, as speakers and writers, listeners and readers) and of language change (how meanings alter over time). It is important for understanding language in social contexts, as these are likely to affect meaning, and for understanding varieties of English and effects of style. It is thus one of the most fundamental concepts in linguistics. The study of semantics includes the study of how meaning is

constructed, interpreted, clarified, obscured, illustrated, simplified negotiated, contradicted and paraphrased. Semiotics Semiotics is the study of signs and signifying practices. Semiotics, also called semiotic studies or semiology, is the study of cultural sign processes (semiosis), analogy, metaphor, signification and communication, signs and symbols. Semiotics is closely related to the field of linguistics, which in its part, studies the structure and meaning of language more specifically. Semiotics differs from linguistics in that it generalizes the definition of a sign to encompass signs in any medium or sensory modality. Thus it broadens the range of sign systems and sign relations, and extends the definition of language in what amounts to its widest analogical or metaphorical sense. Peirce's definition of the term "semiotic" as the study of necessary features of signs also has the effect of distinguishing the discipline from linguistics as the study of contingent features that the world's languages happen to have acquired in the course of human evolution. Syntax The study of the rules that govern the way words combine to form phrases, clauses, and sentences.Arrangement of words in sentences, clauses, and phrases, and the study of the formation of sentences and the relationship of their component parts.

The study of the rules whereby words or other elements of sentence structure are combined to form grammatical sentences. In linguistics, syntax is the study of the principles and rules for constructing sentences in natural languages. In addition to referring to the discipline, the term syntax is also used to refer directly to the rules and principles that govern the sentence structure of any individual language. Modern research in syntax attempts to describe languages in terms of such rules. Many

professionals in this discipline attempt to find general rules that apply to all natural languages. The term syntax is also sometimes used to refer to the rules governing the behavior of mathematical systems, such as logic, artificial formal languages, and computer programming languages. Phonology and Phonetics Phonetics and phonology are two branches of linguistics that deal primarily with the structure of human language sounds. Phonetics focuses on the physical manifestations of speech sounds and on theories of speech production and perception. Phonology is concerned with the systems of rules that determine how the sounds of a language combine and influence one another. Most phonetic work falls into the sub-field of articulatory phonetics (the study of the human vocal tract, the International Phonetic Alphabet, and how to make and describe language sounds), but with recent advances in computers and the availability of good phonetics software, there has been a recent boom in acoustic research (the physical properties of sounds-wave forms, pitch, intensity, spectrograms). Phonology cares about the entire sound system for a given language. The goal is to formulate a model/theory which explains not only the sound patterns found in a particular language, but the patterns found in all languages. Phonology is the study of the sounds used in languages: the way they pattern with respect to each other, the way they are use to make up words and phrases, and the changes they undergo. Phonology deals with the speakers' knowledge of the sound system of a language. It is therefore exclusively concerned with langue or competence, (Phonology, then, is not the study of telephone manners, as one student once jokingly suggested.) Phonology can be divided into two branches: (1) Segmental phonology and (2) Suprasegmental phonology. It is viewed as the subfield of linguistics that deals with the sound systems of languages. Whereas phonetics is about the physical production, acoustic transmission and perception of the sounds of speech, phonology describes the way sounds function within a

given language or across languages to encode meaning. The term "phonology" was used in the linguistics of a greater part of the 20th century as a cover term uniting phonemics and phonetics. Current phonology can interface with disciplines such as psycholinguistics and speech perception, resulting in specific areas like articulatory or laboratory phonology. Phonetics is the study of the sounds of language. Phonetics is primarily used to describe the way sounds are written and how written words are perceived as sounds. For most people the only reason they will ever need phonetics to use the international phonetic alphabet, which is really only usable to a select few. It's a way of standardizing the pronunciation of words from any language so that, theoretically, anyone reading any word in any language can at least pronounce it properly. Sociolinguistics Sociolinguistics is the study of the effect of any and all aspects of society, including cultural norms, expectations, and context, on the way language is used, and the effects of language use on society. Sociolinguistics differs from sociology of language in that the focus of sociolinguistics is the effect of the society on the language, while the latter's focus is on the language's effect on the society. Sociolinguistics overlaps to a considerable degree with pragmatics. It is historically closely related to linguistic anthropology and the distinction between the two fields has even been questioned recently. It also studies how language varieties differ between groups separated by certain social variables, e.g., ethnicity, religion, status, gender, level of education, age, etc., and how creation and adherence to these rules is used to categorize individuals in social or socioeconomic classes. As the usage of a language varies from place to place (dialect), language usage varies among social classes, and it is these sociolects that sociolinguistics studies. Sociolinguistics is a term including the aspects of linguistics applied toward the connections between language and society, and the way we use it in different social situations. It ranges from the study of the wide variety of dialects across a given region down to the analysis between the way men and women speak to one another. Sociolinguistics often shows us the humorous realities of human speech and how a dialect of a given language can

often describe the age, sex, and social class of the speaker; it codes the social function of a language.

Language Education Language education is the teaching and learning of a language. It can include improving a learner's mastery of her or his native language, but the term is more commonly used with regard to second language acquisition, which means the learning of a foreign or second language and which is the topic of this article. Some scholars differentiate between acquisition and learning. Language education is a branch of applied linguistics. Conclusion Finally, we can conclude that all component of the linguistics have a strength relations systematically between one to the other. Although many concepts change from the past time, now, and then next time. Languages are by extremely complex and describing a language, any language, is not an easy task. To help with description and analysis it is considered easier to divide a language into separate components or different areas of analysis. Such areas include for example phonology and phonetics, which looks at speech sounds and on theories of speech production, perception and describes the sound system of a language. Syntax, which seeks to describe the way words fit together to form sentences or utterances, semantics and pragmatics which study of meaning, semiotics which look study of signs and signifying practices, sociolinguistics which is the study of the effect of any and all aspects of society, including cultural norms, expectations, and context, on the way language is used, and the effects of language use on society, and the language education is the teaching and learning of a language. Although these components overlap and interact with each other, they can to some extent be looked at and described individually. Therefore all components of linguistics most important for us to learn.
