Introduction to Linguistics (ITL)
English Language studies
Linguistics, though known as a 'difficult' and 'dry' subject to study, is in fact an interesting subject if we know how to make it interesting. Language is all around us, we speak it, we think in it, we dream in it: it is an integral part of our existence. Imagine a subject that deals with language, that looks at language critically and that analyses language. Linguistics is not something that we should be scared of. I can tell you, it is one of the best subjects to be enjoyed in a lively classroom. It offers many interesting questions about the structures and functions of language and how we learn them.
