DISSECTING THE CORRELATION BETWEEN LINGUISTICS, BIOLOGY AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The existential correlation between linguistics, biology and information technology is seldom considered by many. This study rises to concisely dissect the correlation between these fields. It reveals that linguistics correlate biology and information technology. It also shows that information, science and methodological naturalism correlate linguistics, biology and information technology. These realities are given credence by theoretical postulations of the Theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics and the Theory of Structural Functionalism. From the analysis and through the lens of these theories, the study concludes that linguistics, biology and information technology correlate and demonstrate connective functionality that has existential or natural bearing. The study recommends consistent exposition of these realities to the layman by linguists.
