Language is so freakin fascinating!! Don't believe me? Stick around to see some of the stuff that Lydia and I talk about during our lunch break @ ASU. Your mind will be blown.
A little about us... We're both linguistics majors (See definitions below). And we're awesome.
Linguistics. /lɪŋˈgwɪstɪks/: The science of language, including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and historical linguistics.
Phonology: Study of speech sounds.
Morphology: Basically.. the study of word formation.
Syntax: The study of sentence structure.
Semantics: The study of meaning.
Pragmatics: The study of language in conversation (pretty much)
Sociolinguistics: The study of language within society
Orthography: The study of written language (different from actual language)
