Overview

Linguistics from The University of the West Indies teaches us about the language of writing, of speech, of the computer, of literature, of politics, of medical interaction and of other professions.

Linguistics teaches us about ourselves, enables us to teach others to use language as appropriate to circumstances, and helps us to be competent communicators and to help others in the same way.
