Linguistics is a social science which endeavors to find the
commonality of languages. The study of linguistics doesn’t focus
on the specifics of a language; the rules regarding proper usage
such as grammar. Instead, linguistics is a cognitive science
similar to psychology and philosophy. Each of these disciplines
studies the mind, the impact of the field on society
individually and as a whole and uses the knowledge gained
through study and research as a tool to predict what may or may
not occur. The linguistics discipline employs a multi-
directional approach to understanding and examining the
relevance of language in connection to other fields of study.
Linguistics scientifically studies the entirety of language;
encompassing many subfields such as morphology, phonology,
evolutionary linguistics, linguistic anthropology,
neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics.
Linguists seek to identify the distinctive qualities of
individual languages as well as the universal properties of all
languages. He
