Introduction

Linguistics is the scientific study of language. Founded by Ferdinand de Saussure in the early 20th century, this field of science aims to study language independently from disciplines such as psychology, sociology, and philosophy. However, over time, linguistics has revealed itself through its interdisciplinary relationships with other disciplines.

I created this site to highlight both linguistics and its interdisciplinary nature. The site traces my journey into linguistics, which began in the late 1980s when I was an undergraduate student. I am sharing my knowledge and experiences because I would like you to join me on this journey.

I hope you find it useful.
