Introduction to Linguistics

This book describes about Introduction to Linguistics generally. Linguistics is the study of language. Language is a purely human and non- instinctive method of communicating ideas, emotions and desires by means of voluntarily produced symbols.

Linguistics can be defined as the scientific or systematic study of language. It is a science in the sense that it scientifically studies the rules, systems and principles of human languages. Linguistics'' purposes are studies the nature of language and tries to establish a theory of language and describe languages in the light of the theory established.
