About

English (linguistics) is the academic study of the English language as a linguistic system. This field investigates the structure, historical development, variation, acquisition, and use of English, encompassing areas such as its phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. Distinct from the study of 'english literature', which focuses on the body of literary works produced in the language or by English authors, 'english (linguistics)' is concerned with the language itself as a system of grammar, sound patterns, and meaning, representing a core area within language studies and the broader arts.
