What is linguistics?
Linguistics is the scientific study of languages. A linguist analyses what a language looks like, the meaning of language and the language in context.
There are different branches, for example evolutionary linguistics, which is how a language changes over time.
Morphology
Morphology is the study of words. Morphemes are minimal units of words that cannot further be divided. There are two types of morphemes: free morphemes and bound morphemes. Free morphemes can occur alone and bound morphemes cannot.
Syntax
Syntax is how sentences are formed and it depends on parts of speech, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, conjunctions, etc.
Subcategorisation restricts the way we use certain words: e.g. we can divide verbs in groups of intransitive and transitive verbs
Phrase structure rules are rules for noun phrases, verb phrases, prepositional phrases and sentences. These rules depend on the language.
Phonetics and IPA
There are three types of phonetics: acoustic phonetics, auditory phonetics, and articulatory phonetics.
Acoustic phonetics is the study of the physical properties of sounds. Auditory phonetics is the way listeners perceive sounds and articulatory phonetics is how you produce the sounds.
The International Phonetic Alphabet (or IPA for short) is a group of symbols that represent a sound in any language.
Semantics
Semantics is the study of the meaning in languages. Lexical semantics is about the meaning of words and relationships between words and phrasal semantics is about the meaning of units that are larger than words.
Pragmatics
Pragmatics is the study of how people interpret a sentence in a specific context. Ambiguity means a sentence can be interpreted in different ways.
Final say
Linguistics isn't a simple subject. In this presentation we covered the basic definitions of terms that are used in the linguistic field. Thank you for listening!

Great job! Not much to correct. Very interesting.
What is linguistics?
Linguistics is the scientific study of languages.
A linguist analyszes what a language looks like, the meaning of language and the language in context.
There are different branches, for of linguistics. An example is evolutionary linguistics, which is the study of how a language changes over time.
Morphology is the study of words.
Morphemes are minimal units of words that cannot further be divided any further.
There are two types of morphemes: free morphemes and bound morphemes.
Free morphemes can occurstand alone and bound morphemes cannot.

It's a little long so I could only correct the first part but good job on this!
