Linguistics – An Overview From a Translation Company
Broadly defined as the scientific study of language (according to Merriam Webster: “the study of human speech including the units, nature, structure, and modification of language”), linguistics has been a discipline of study for over two millennia. It endeavours to answer the questions “what is language?”, “what is the origin of speech?” and tries to explain how language is represented in the mind.
