Linguistics

Program Description

Language is central to our human nature, and linguistics is the systematic study of human language. Although on the face of it there is huge variation among the world’s languages, linguists not only describe the characteristics of individual languages but also seek to discover the deeper properties which all languages share. These common properties may give us an insight into the structure of the human mind.
You will discover that part of the appeal of linguistics is that it draws on methods and knowledge from an unusually wide range of learning and transcends the usual subject boundaries.
