Explanation:
Linguistics is the scientific study of language.[1] It involves an analysis of language form, language meaning, and language in context.[2]
Linguistics began to be studied systematically by the Indian scholar Pānini in the 6th century BCE.[3][4] Beginning around the 4th century BCE, Warring States period China also developed its own grammatical traditions.[citation needed] Aristotle laid the foundation of Western linguistics as part of the study of rhetoric in his Poetics ca. 335 BC.[5] Traditions of Arabic grammar and Hebrew grammar developed during the Middle Ages in a religious context like Pānini's Sanskrit grammar.
Modern approaches began to develop in the 18th century when the classical discipline of rhetoric was gradually removed. During the 19th century linguistics came to be regarded as belonging to either psychology or biology, and such views remain the foundation of today's mainstream Anglo-American linguistics.[6] They were however contested in the early 20th century by Ferdinand de Saussure who established linguistics as an autonomous discipline within social sciences.[4] Following Saussure's concept, general linguistics consists of the study of language as a semiotic system which includes the subfields of phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. The linguist's approach to these can be synchronic or diachronic.
Today, linguistics is considered as relating to a large number of scientific approaches, and is further split into several subfields including applied linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, computational linguistics, and so on.
