Human language consists of different structural levels. The sound system is studied in Phonetics and Phonology. The smallest units on this level - phonemes - are defined as the smallest meaning-distinguishing units of a language. Word forms are studied in Morphology. Here the smallest units are called morphemes. Sentence structure is studied in Syntax. Linguistic meaning is studied in Semantics, whereas Pragmatics is the study of meaning in context.
