The Gucci Handbag is known all over the world as the top in luxury and is popular all over the world sales wise. You almost never see a celebrity in any part of the world that doesn’t have a Gucci Bag. They are so popular that sometimes even celebrities end up on the waitlist for these bags because the company just can’t keep up with the demand. So, if you find yourself on a waitlist for your Gucci bag, your name could be right next to that of a well known star or starlette.

They corner a huge take in the high end fashion designer handbag market and are a status symbol of high class fashion and sophistication. But let’s face it, not all of us can afford to pay $25,000 for a handbag. That’s a down payment on a house or a new car, Gucci Medium Shoulder Bags sometimes two new cars. For people, like myself, in this situation, we can hope to get these fashion statement handbags from sales and stores going out of business that are offering them at a discount.

We do have to be careful, however, that the product we are getting for a reduced price is actually real and not a knock off product. Knock offs will be cheaply made and will often have really bad workmanship and stitching. They won’t be as detailed and the materials used to create them will be cheap and not very reliable (i.e. it will fall apart on you after only a week). Knockoffs will never be of the same luxury and quality as the real handbags and you can probably tell yourself if it’s a real Gucci or a knock off, just by touching the material of the bag.

There are a lot of people out there that will try to sell you a knock off Gucci and gucci shoes, Gucci 2010 Collection so be careful, and happy shopping.

How many languages do you speak?

Some lonely loser is reading your blog every day and copying your posts!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

As I said, I'll try to bad-mouth linguists less in future.

Linguistics started covering social dynamics and psychology starting in the early 20th century. Things like the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis (Linguistic relativity), the grander corpus of Noam Chomsky's works concerning universal grammar (and though his concept contains the word “grammar,” it IS a study of psychology and social dynamics, believe me).

This series of posts has left me with the impression that you are very misinformed about the field of Linguistics and what it entails.

Coincidentally, the squillo is in fact a very interesting mark of Italian culture, but you're not really talking about how that makes you more fluent in any sense, just how it's a way of further understanding Italian culture. That's somewhere between linguistics and anthropology The fact that each missed call carries a unique meaning depending on context is the part that falls under linguistics; the fact that they do it at all falls under anthropology. The fact that you use that to better connect you to the culture you are trying to become a part of just means you are ingratiating yourself into a culture, which says nothing for or against linguists.

Though your responses here show that you have a pretty significant gap in your knowledge of linguistics, so, I bring you the main sub-fields of linguistics:

Phonetics, the study of the physical properties of speech (or signed) production and perception.

Phonology, the study of sounds (or signs) as discrete, abstract elements in the speaker's mind that distinguish meaning.

Morphology, the study of internal structures of words and how they can be modified.

Syntax, the study of how words combine to form grammatical sentences.

Semantics, the study of the meaning of words (lexical semantics) and fixed word combinations (phraseology), and how these combine to form the meanings of sentences.

Pragmatics, the study of how utterances are used in communicative acts, and the role played by context and non-linguistic knowledge in the transmission of meaning.

Discourse analysis, the analysis of language use in texts (spoken, written, or signed)

Your post here seems to deal mostly with Pragmatics.

Main point of this whole response: yes Linguistics encompasses psychology. You can't study language without it. The people who really study it are obviously not going to miss that. Just to quote the basic wikipedia on Linguistics, here are some things you can't study linguistics without, as obviously recognized by Linguists themselves: psychology, speech-language pathology, informatics, computer science, philosophy, biology, human anatomy, neuroscience, sociology, anthropology, and acoustics.

Hopefully this was informative. Here's some interesting reading while you're at it and want to read a little more into linguistic psychology:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity

Do linguists study social features outside of an actual language, such as the squillo example I gave? If so then great! If not then I'll remain sceptical that they are the best people to turn to for advice on actually applying the language in spoken contexts.

Linguists study languages, and that's fine. But I'm after communication in social environments, which is not covered sufficiently enough by pure language, including everything you've just listed. Knowing everything you just listed would still leave someone short-changed in their ability to communicate in my opinion.

If linguists are experts in this (social dynamics and psychology) too then I stand corrected.

One of the big fields in linguistics is the concept of Systemic Functional Linguistics, which analyses language in terms of ideational, textual and interpersonal metafunctions. Ideational — the core concept or dictionary “meaning” or a word or other language element; textual — the properties or characteristics of the language element that affect how a text becomes a single coherent unit; interpersonal — how the choice of language feature expresses social distance, approval/disapproval, respect etc between speaker and listener.

Believe me, Benny, you might find it “hard to believe”, but you are not the first person to notice that language isn't just the rules in a Latin book from 1785. If anyone's going to notice this, it's the guys who make a living from studying it.

The problem is that most language teachers aren't linguists and never read any linguistics literature….
