WHAT IS “LINGUISTICS”?
“Linguistics is the scientific study of language.”


LANGUAGE:
To be more scientific, a language can be defined as:
“An arbitrary system of creative vocal symbols used as a means of communication among human beings”


WHAT WE STUDY IN LINGUISTIC:

Linguistic is about language in general
One may even study the language if he don’t even know the language


LINGUIST:

He should not be confused with polyglot.
