Abstract
Linguistics is the scientific study of language, that is, it studies the function, structure and the history and the nature of language. Language is immensely complicated, which makes it impossible for the linguists to describe all at once. This gives rise to different branches of linguistics. A language teaching theory expresses answers to questions about the nature of language. These questions relate language teaching theories directly to theoretical linguistics.
