Linguistics is the study of language and languages, the etymology, syntax, and evolution of words and sentences that provide us with communication. Linguistics can be a fun hobby that will expand your vocabulary and deepen your understanding of world history. With a knowledge of English's influences and root words you may come to understand words you've never heard before simply because you recognize the root and suffix or develop into a champion speller based on your grasp of French influence vs Germanic. Or maybe you want to study a new language like Greek, Japanese, Swahili, or American Sign Language to speak with family members, friends, and even strangers? There are myriad of resources in the library and online to help you get started.
