In this subject students are introduced to the fundamental concepts of linguistic study and the properties of language as a specifically human communication system, both at a biological and social level.We address questions such as the relationship between language and languages, linguistic diversity (with a particular focus on the European, Spanish and Catalan context) and the value of languages as a means of interpreting the world.We briefly review the history of linguistic thought and offer a succinct overview of what linguistics is as a discipline tasked with the rigorous study of grammatical aspects of languages and its relationship with other scientific disciplines.This last aspect links in with other subsequent subjects offered as part of the degree(linguistics, analysis of the Spanish and Catalan languages).
