Study in Linguistics
Linguistics is the study of human language in its various forms and uses. It addresses both language in general and the properties of individual languages. Linguistics explores the connection between language, culture and knowledge; between discourse, belief and behaviour. Linguistics examines the role of language in human communication; the way people use language to interact with one another and their environment; language acquisition; preservation and loss.
