Linguistics
|
| Linguistics is the scientific study of human speech and language. The topics included within the study of Linguistic Anthropology stretch from issues as specific as the basic sounds that make up a language to broad issues, such as how we manipulate language in daily communication. Language is so much a part of our lives, it has become one of the attributes that distinguishes humans from other animals. |

Are we born
"hardwired" to learn language? How do languages
develop? Does language affect our view of the world? These are
just a few of the questions that Anthropological Linguistics attempts to
answer.
