Linguistics is the study of one of the most important human characteristics: language. It is an interdisciplinary field that involves the integration of the natural sciences, the medical sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities.
Studying linguistics is not a matter of learning lots of different languages, but rather it is the study of how language is structured and used.
