Rose,

I think any area is viable, it's just a matter of going narrow enough. Certainly it's true that some areas are studied more than others, but I recommend finding an area you find interesting, locating some studies, and then reading the sections on "future studies", which is usually near the end of the article. The benefit of going this route is that you can do something that interests you and by reading the suggestions in pubilshed and recent papers, then the topic itself has already been vetted in a sense (by the researcher that published that information, provided it's a reputable journal).

I hope that helps and good luck with your topic!

Sociolingustics

Morphology

Or maybe semantics

Perhaps the best way to start is to ask yourself what you're interested in and not the question you're asking.

You might even work on evolutionary linguistics. Not so much about the evolution of language but how language played an important role in human evolution.

This way of expressing is really incorrect. As as example, (Linguistic Language, saturated).

For the topic, you have to specify the area, then check google whether any new and interesting topic available.

I agree with Mr. Martin Willis. Researching is not "easy" and you should study about something you like and something which bothers you and you want to find a way to be helpful. Also Mr. Kris Ramonda gives you a very good tip: "any area is viable, it's just a matter of going narrow enough". Think about the particularities of your own area that might be a surprise for others. Good luck!

In India, studies on Linguistics is confined to a limit. I feel Indian scholars can concentrate on Socio linguistics. The researchers can take a few books of Indian writers in English and can analyse the use of vocabulary ,why even structure of the sentences and point out how they differ from the British

English

I totally agree with Kris, Martin, and Maria. If you don't want to do the research just for its own sake - just to do the research, you should look for the question which is for you interesting enough to search for the answer. And don't forget that linguistics and applied linguistics is not the same (cf Turqia's recommendation: morphology and L2 acquisition...) Good Luck and Enthusiasm :)

I think that you can conduct a research on Corpus Linguistıcs. It ıs a very vital fıeld ın lınguistics.

I think, sociolinguistics is what is interresting to study as it encompasses culture, a salient theme to look at. However, just like what others have said, it's relevant to explore a specified topic that fits your interest. Research is a diligent process so you really have to choose what is interesting in order to produce a successful paper. Good luck!

Pursue a topic that really interests you.

Corpus Linguistics, on the move.

How about pragmatics? I work in this field and - as it's a relatively young linguistic discipline - there are many interesting phenomena to discover.

hi. nowadays in the world of focusing on psychological state of human beings, psycholinguistic facets of language teachers and learner need scant attention. it is a current trend in line with new needs and wants of language learners. best
