Linguistics is the scientific study of language. It explores how language works, how it is structured, how people use it, and how it changes over time. This course introduces students to the main areas of linguistics. It consists of five chapters covered during semesters three and four. Each chapter introduces a major branch of linguistics and provides an overview of its core concepts. The chapters progress from the study of sound systems, through word formation and internal word structure, to sentence structure and meaning.The course is designed to help students develop a clear understanding of linguistic systemsby combining explanations, examples, and activities that support learning. By the end of the course, students will gainbasic knowledge of phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics
