This course, entitled ‘Linguistics’, will familiarise you with the necessary concepts relating to language. Linguistics is a scientific discipline that explores language in all its forms. In this course, we will tackle key questions such as: What is linguistics? What are the scientific criteria in linguistic research? What are the domains of linguistics (macro and micro functions)? What is the relationship of structuralism to Ferdinand De Saussure? and other questions in relation to Bloomfield and Sapir, the founders of American structuralism.

The course is divided into a set of learning units that enable you to acquire skills in general linguistics and language; the work of Ferdinand de Saussure, one of the founding fathers of modern linguistics, and how his ideas have transformed our understanding of language. It will also enable you to acquire knowledge relating to the different characteristics of language, taking into account the different branches of linguistics. Finally, we will look at semiotics, which studies how language is used in specific contexts to communicate with others using signs.

This course will be interactive and stimulating, with practical exercises and class discussions to deepen your knowledge. We encourage your curiosity and questions, as linguistics is a discipline that will allow you to see the world of language from a new perspective.
