B. A Revolution in Linguistics
At the same time as the use of English which was growing up for specific
needs, it also influenced the study of language itself. Traditionally the aim of
linguistics had been to describe the rules of English usage shifted usage, that is,
the grammar. However the new studies shifted attention away from defining the
In English language teaching this gave rise to the view that there are
courses for specific groups of learners. The idea was simple: if language varies
features of specific situations and then make these features the basis of the
learners’ course.4
It can be explained that in the real life there are some differences of the
usage of language in some parts of life e.g engineering, hospital, and more. Then
it developed that if the use of language varies from one situation to another, it
should be possible to decide the features of specific situations and make these
features as basis for learning the language. Since then, especially in the late 60’s
and 70’s, the research were developed into the varieties of language. In
