Welcome to Linguistics at UAF!
What is Linguistics?
Linguistics is the study of human language. It investigates how we acquire and produce distinctive sounds, words, phrases, and sentences. It explores how people use language to interact, express meaning, and enact culture. Linguists study the world of human language while learning particular languages.
