Linguistics is the scientific study of language, and involves an analysis of language form,
language meaning, and language in context. Linguists traditionally analyse human language by observing
an interaction between sound and meaning. Phonetics is the study of speech and non-speech sounds, and
delves into their acoustic and articulatory properties. The study of language meaning, on the other hand,
deals with how languages encode relations between entities, properties, and other aspects of the world to
convey, process, and assign meaning, as well as manage and resolve ambiguity.
