General linguistics attempts to establish general principles for the study of all languages and to determine the characteristics of human language as a phenomenon

De******ive Linguistics concentrates on establishing the facts of a particular language systm

Contrastive Linguistics focuses on the differences between languages, especially in language-teaching context

Comparative Linguistics identifies the common characteristics of different languages or language families,the subject goes under the heading of comparative linguistics

Structural Linguistics is widely used , sometimes in an extremely specific sense, referring to the particular approaches to sntax and phonology
