Also, other topics like linguistic terms, history of the English language (Old period), the importance while the kids learn a language, acquisition and development, model of communication, and linguistic fields. In another way, some screenshots of the Forums that my partners and I did it. So, enjoy learning a little more.


What is linguistics?

Linguistics is the scientific study of language. It involves the analysis of language form, language meaning, and language in context, as well as the social, cultural, historical, and political factors that influence language. Linguists traditionally analyze human language by observing an interplay between sound and meaning. Historical and evolutionary linguistics focus on how languages change and grow, particularly over an extended period of time.
