Linguistics is the scientific study of language that involves the scrutiny of both linguistic structure and its meaning. This discipline delves into the impact of cultural, historical, political, and social influences on language. Central to linguistics is the exploration of the correlation between sound and meaning. It is segmented into numerous sub-discipline, including phonology, morphology, semantics, and pragmatics. Morphology focuses on the construction of words via morphemes. Semantics involves the study of meaning in spoken or written language, while pragmatics tackles indirect forms of meaning expressed through body language and gestures. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of linguistics. It presents the complex subject of linguistics in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.
