Come learn about the scientific study of language or linguistics. What is etymology? What is a minimal pair? What is the difference between phonetics on phonics? What's a morpheme? What's syntax and how could a lawyer use it? What's a garden path sentence? What is a semantic prime and how does it help us understand semantics? What is WordNet? Where does humor come from? What influence on language does society have? Does the font affect how quickly someone can read? How does Google read your mind? How do you turn a linguistics degree into marketable skills and money?
