Linguistics is the scientific study of language.
It be can considered as an innate gift of humans, because we know that animals can communicate one another but their system of communication lacks in linguistics.
It is important to read about Ferdinand de Saussure. He was a Swiss linguist whose ideas laid a foundation for many significant developments in linguistics in the 20th century. Saussure is widely considered to be one of the fathers of 20th-century linguistics, though modern linguists generally consider his ideas outdated and inadequate.
Linguistics is based on the grammar of a language which consists of the next fields:
- Phonetics
- Morphology
- Syntax
- Semantic
- Pragmatic
- Discourse analysis
The properties which all languages share can be referred to as “universal grammar” (UG) which form the basis of all possible human language.
Language has the important property that organizes elements into structures.
Within linguistics we can find “The History of the English Language” this the topic that I’m going to try.
