   Introduction - PG Diploma in Linguistics and Language Development
  Linguistics and Language Development is a broad-based discipline concerned with human language, the study of which can be divided into two main areas. On the one hand, linguistics deals with the underlying structures of language, e.g. syntax (the structure of sentences), morphology (the structure of words), semantics (meaning) and phonology (sound structure). On the other hand, linguistics is also concerned with wider issues relating to language use, including the study of language change, the role of language in society (socio linguistics), the way in which language is acquired by children and/or represented in the brain (psycholinguistics), the nature and structure of texts and conversation (discourse analysis), and the problems of teaching and learning foreign languages.

      Career Opportunities
     While there are no jobs waiting for Linguistics majors as there might be for engineers or nurses, employers do value the Linguistics major. Exposure to languages promises communication skills, and the technical aspects of the study of language suggest that majors will be able to cope with technical materials; technical writing is one field in which Linguistics majors are likely to find employment. For those students who wish to continue their studies, the Linguistics major can provide a good foundation for professional programs or for graduate programs in Anthropology, Cognitive Sciences, English or another modern language, Psychology, and other fields besides Linguistics itself.
