Introduction

Basic concepts linguistics needed for the study of the subject, dialect accent.

We have essentially been considering languages as a formal system that can be profitably studied independently from the people who use it. This type of approach is often refered to in the field as the are of "formal" linguistics. People use the term "formal" because such investigation revolves around constructing formal models that allow us to understand how various suboarts or modules of the linguistic grammar function. These subparts or models consist of the areas such as phonetics, phonollgy, morphology, syntax and semantics.
