What is Linguistics?
Linguistics is the scientific study of human language in all its forms and settings, examining how languages are structured, acquired, processed, used, change over time, and vary across communities; it treats sounds, words, sentences, meaning, and social use as interconnected systems and connects with psychology, computer science, anthropology, neuroscience, and education to explain how language shapes thought, identity, and social life.
What You Learn
As a student pursuing a degree involved around Linguistics, you gain analytical tools to describe sound systems (phonetics, phonology), word formation (morphology), sentence structure (syntax), and meaning (semantics, pragmatics); methods for studying language in the mind and brain (psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics) and across societies (sociolinguistics, dialectology); skills in language documentation and historical change; and technical competencies in data collection and analysis, experimental design, corpus linguistics, and computational approaches (basic scripting, annotation, and statistical analysis), preparing you for careers in research, education, speech‑language pathology, computational linguistics and NLP, language revitalization, forensic linguistics, publishing, and technology or further graduate study.
