Linguistics is the scientific study of human language.Linguistics can be broadly broken into three categories or subfields,the study of language form, that of language meaning, and that of language in a broader context.The first subfield of linguistics, the study of language structure or grammar, focuses on the elaborate and formal systems of rules that are followed by fluent language speakers. This subfield encompasses morphology , syntax and phonology. Phonetics is a related branch of linguistics concerned with the actual properties of speech sounds, nonspeech sounds, and how they are produced and perceived.
