Linguistics School: Tyndale University College & Seminary Degree: Bachelor ; Honours Field of Study: Linguistics Description: Linguistics, the study of human language, is a young and vibrant discipline. On the theoretical side, understanding how language is structured and functions is part of the cognitive sciences. After all language is hosted in the human brain and nowhere else. Linguists work between actual sounds on the one end and meaning on the other end, because it is known that language, at the very least, involves sounds that convey meaning. Phonetics is the study of the anatomy, physiology, and physics of speech sounds; how the human vocal apparatus produces the sounds which make language possible. Phonology is the study of how these sounds are organized cognitively by the brain into a functioning system of consonants, vowels, tone, intonation, etc, for each language. In Morphology students learn how these basic sounds are then combined to form morphemes and words. In Syntax, the worlds languages are studied, languages which not only have different words, but very different systems of arranging words into sentences (syntax).
