Linguistics

Linguistics is the study of language - its general nature, its cognitive, biological, and social bases, those features that all languages have in common, the ways in which languages can differ from each other, and ways in which languages change in time. Linguists apply their training to the study and description of language in general and of particular languages and families of languages, to the production of grammars and dictionaries, to the collection of texts, and to language teaching.
