Linguistics Studies
Explore the sounds, structures and meaning of human language.
Linguists investigate the sounds (phonetics & phonology), the structures (morphology & syntax), and meaning (semantics & pragmatics) of human language.
Through linguistics, we explore how language is learned and processed (psycholinguistics & neurolinguistics; first & second language acquisition), evolved through time (historical linguistics), used in its social context (sociolinguistics & linɡuistic anthropoloɡy), and even in technology and linguistic analysis (computational linguistics).
