An introduction to the linguistic study of language, focusing on the analysis of words (morphology), sentences (syntax), and meaning (semantics and pragmatics). We investigate patterns of similarity and difference across the languages of the world, the cognitive representation of linguistic knowledge, and social aspects of language use.
