Come explore the fascinating world of linguistics in English at Ben-Gurion University.
Linguistics is the scientific study of language, exploring how humans acquire and use it. Linguists believe we are all born with an innate ability to learn any language, effortlessly mastering the language of our community as children, no matter how complex it may be. This extraordinary ability raises an intriguing question: how do we achieve this, especially when learning a language as adults often feels so challenging?
To uncover the answers, linguists analyze the sounds, structures, and meanings of adult languages. Every human language provides valuable insights, as all are equally learnable by the human brain. By examining the unique features of individual languages alongside the universal traits shared by many, linguists strive to understand the essence of human language and its profound connection to our cognitive abilities.
