This course is of both theoretical and practical importance.  It is designed to make the students aware of the complex organization and systematic nature of language which is the primary means of human communication. This course is intended to clarify ideas about language, and bring learners a better understanding of its nature. The students are exposed to an overview of linguistics at the various levels of description of language. Therefore, the course will familiarize the students with the Origin and Theories of language, and Animals and Human Language.  It is further expected to enrich students’ knowledge of some linguistic topics, namely The Sounds of Language, The Sound Patterns of Language, Word Formation, Morphology, Grammar, Syntax, Semantics and Pragmatics.

The main objective of this course is to build up and develop the students' background in Linguistics by presenting additional and more advanced information covering different linguistic issues and topics. Our aim here is to shed light on general issues related to the scope and branches of Linguistics which students need at this stage. It further aims at enabling students to be engaged in discussions on linguistics topics and carry out research in the different domains pertinent to the discipline.
