This page is designed to post events and activities that take place in the Department of Linguistics at Unisa. Linguistics: the study of language

Linguistics, the study of language, tries to answer questions such as what all languages have in common, how languages differ from one another, what kind of varieties occur within a single language, how written and spoken forms of language differ, how children acquire language, why languages change and whether differences among groups in society are reflected in their language.
