The morphologist is concerned with the study of morphemes or the smallest units of meaning in a language. They analyze how these morphemes combine to form words and phrases, and how these structures convey meaning. Therefore, they are the ones deciphering the groups or combinations of sounds that have meaning in a language. Phoneticist is a specialist in the study of speech sounds and their production. A grammaticist is an expert in the study of grammar, while glottochronologist studies the relationships between languages. A consultant can refer to anyone who provides expert advice, but it is not a specific linguistic specialization.
