A. What is linguistics?
Linguistics is the study about the language. It examines the nature, structure, history and the variation in language.
In general, linguistics is divided into three broad categories; language form, language meanng and language context.
In the study of the nature and structure of language, we study about the grammar, phonology, morphology, and syntax.
In the area of language meaning, we study about semantics and pragmatics while in the area of context, we can learn the language in terms of interdicsiplinary relations. for example, if you study about the realtion of language and society, your field study is about sociolinguistics. If it examines the relationship between language and thought, it is in the area of psycholinguistics. If you study about language and the brain, it is in the area of neurolinguistics.
