Linguistics courses explore language structure, phonetics, syntax, semantics, and sociolinguistics. You can learn how languages evolve, how they are used in different cultures, and the cognitive processes behind language acquisition. Many courses also introduce tools for analyzing language data, such as corpora and software for phonetic transcription.
