Linguistics

Linguistics is a field that studies the formation and role of languages.

There are studies on how words are used and the relationship between words and sounds.

From linguistics to semiotics

Saussure was originally in a position to compare different languages.

From there, we arrived at the common question of "What is language?" deriving a theory. That is the rationale for semiotics .

Language learning

In linguistics, there are fields called "cognitive linguistics" and "generative grammar/universal grammar", and research is being conducted on "how can humans learn to use language?"

"Cognitive linguistics" and "generative grammar/universal grammar" are divided into Language Learning pages.
