Introducing the Scope of Linguistic Enquiry. A Student´s Overview

Document from the year 2019 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, grade: 18, , language: English, abstract: The aim of this work is to give students of linguistic an overview of their prospective field of study.

A series of lectures are given along with activities to provide students with a certain amount of knowledge concerning the components that are relevant and necessary to be learned in order to master the basic concepts in linguistics.

Since the study of linguistics is a broad field, students are not expected to learn everything about linguistics while going through this course book the first time, and they should not feel linguistically sluggish if they find that there are many questions that will remain unanswered at the end of it. This is an introductory course. Learners can actually study linguistics by sifting through the various lectures and doing the activities that accompany them. Suggestions for further reading will always be listed alongside each lesson that may help them in the future, when they need more detailed information.
