Modern linguistics represents the scientific exploration of language in its contemporary forms, focusing on structure, acquisition, use, and evolution. Emerging in the 20th century with influences from pioneers like Ferdinand de Saussure and Noam Chomsky, it has shifted from prescriptive rules to empirical, data-driven insights. In 2025, amid rapid technological progress and globalization, linguistics intersects with artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and social sciences to address real-world issues like machine translation, bilingual education, and digital communication. This article synthesizes core approaches while analyzing recent research trends through bibliometric lenses, providing tables and graph descriptions to illustrate shifts in focus. By examining publication data from 2010 to 2025, it reveals how fields like NLP have dominated, reflecting broader societal needs for inclusive and efficient language technologies.
