Linguistics is the study of human language. Linguistics is different from language learning. Language learning is the learning of a language, but basic linguistics has the same rules after learning all human languages (usually only according to the language, not the words). Traditionally, linguistics is a branch of cultural anthropology, but since 2 1 century, linguistics has become more and more independent. Linguistics studies the description of languages such as syntax and vocabulary, as well as the history of language development. Linguistics majors train high-level professionals in Chinese language and literature who have theoretical literacy and systematic knowledge of Chinese language and literature, and can engage in practical work in literary criticism, teaching, research, culture and publicity of Chinese language and literature in news, literature and publishing departments, universities, scientific research institutions and institutions.

Linguistics can be written a lot. Basically nothing more than the following:

First, the pronunciation class.

Such as the nature of pronunciation, the relationship between phonology and pronunciation, strength, voiced sound, syllables and so on.

Second, vocabulary category.

Such as lexical morphology, semantics, word formation, lexicalization, semantic field and so on.

Third, grammar class.

Such as grammatical structure, hierarchical structure, rhetoric, etc.

Fourth, the sentence category.

For example, analyze the various components of sentences, word order, basic sentence patterns and so on.

Fifth, the category of discourse

Such as coherence, thinking logic, structural rhetoric, subject and object consciousness, etc.

There are many textbooks in this field, depending on your requirements. At present, English-Chinese contrastive linguistics and comparative literature are hot, and it is not bad to start from this aspect.
