Kale Eichmann · Accepted Answer

Linguistics courses can be challenging, especially introductory linguistics courses. This is mainly because linguistics requires you to think about language, something that you use everyday, in a different more scientific way.Intro linguistics courses also cover the full spectrum disciplines within the field including syntax, semantics, phonetics/phonology, morphology, sociolinguistics, and others. This can be challenging but a dedicated student can manage the requirements of this area of study. I think linguistics helps your brain think in new ways and can be beneficial to all other areas of study. Good luck and enjoy your course!

For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/avAvMI find linguistics to be fascinating. While some parts of it are impractical and not really scientific or accurate, much of it will help you gain useful insights into the way languages work. If you want a nice introduction to the field, get a copy of Robert Anderson Hall's "Linguistics and your language." Hall also produced an introductory textbook for people studying linguistics. Its title is "Introductory Linguistics." It was published by Chilton Books. There are two principal schools of linguistics, structuralism, and transformationalism, which became prominent once Noam Chomsky started publishing about language. Structuralists and transformationalists often disagree--sometimes very heatedly--with one another. By the way, I would recommend that you get a copy of "The Linguistics Wars." I found it hilariously funny. Harleigh Kyson Jr.
