Understand the science behind human language
Linguistics is the scientific study of human language. Whether you're currently enrolled in a course or just want to explore the subject, Linguistics For Dummies helps you understand some of the primary streams of linguistics: what language is for (communication), how language works (pattern formation), what language reveals about the mind (cognition), and how written language shapes society (technology).

- Discover the building blocks of language -- investigate how individual speech sounds combine to form words, which form sentences, and how those are strung together to make conversation
- Explore the evolution of language -- consider how new languages are born, chart how language changes over time, and examine how languages are lost
- Study the relationship between the human brain and language -- find out how children and adults learn language and how language activates your brain
- Delve into the written word -- see how different writing systems develop, how writing a language down changes it, and how it changes you!

- The architecture of words
- How linguistics categorizes into grammatical categories
- What makes a conversation tick
