Bridging English and Linguistics

Linguistics is the systematic study of how language works. When referring to the term "langauge", there are two different views on what it is. Some say it is a tool of communication, stressing on its functions; while others say it is a system of symbols, stressing on its forms.

As we have been brought up learning second languages like English in a traditional way, focusing on drilling and memorization; few of us realize that an analytic approach is also very helpful in language learning. The purpose of this web site, therefore, is to raise this awareness, and provide learners who are interested with an alternative to the traditional methodologies.
