Objectives of the Course Linguistics studies the structure of human languages, encompassing a comprehensive, systematic, objective, and precise analysis of all aspects of language. The course includes the study of the most important branches of linguistics such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. The course aims to familiarise students with linguistic terminology and the concepts underlying these terms, and to put this knowledge into practice through various exercises across linguistic branches.
Course Content Linguistics includes a comprehensive and thorough study of a basic understanding of the three core areas of linguistics: phonetics and phonology, syntax, and semantics, and pragmatics. More clearly it is the study of language which identifies the common element connecting the languages and draws its relevance from archaeology, anthropology, psychology, philosophy, sociology, English, computer science, and almost every other subject.
