Aitchison's Linguistics

[Nile Harris]

As a beginner in the world of self-instruction, it is very difficult to incorporate all of the different disciplinary perspectives into my journey to learning Portuguese. It would take so much work and research to find the best resources to incorporate all of them. Instead, on my journey, I will focus on just a few disciplines including: applied linguistics, stylistics, sociolinguistics, and anthropological linguistics. For me, the most important discipline is applied linguistics, because I want to focus on speaking and listening, rather than reading and writing.
