Linguistics is the scientific and systematic study of language.
Language is probably unique to human experience, and so it has interested people throughout history. You’ve probably thought about it, too.
Have you ever wondered why languages are similar and different, how they develop, why people misunderstand each other or what is the best way to learn another language?
Linguistics is about finding answers to those questions. All you need to study linguistics is your curiosity!
Linguistics complements other disciplines in the arts, such as English, communication studies, sociology, anthropology, education, languages and law, and other disciplines in the sciences, such as psychology, neuroscience, computer and information science, and maths.
