The science of language. As a science, it is concerned to develop theories and evaluate them on the basis of objective data. Central to modern linguistics is the study of languages as formal systems through grammar, phonology, and semantics. Also important is the study in psycholinguistics of the way language is used by speakers, and the study in sociolinguistics of the way language functions in society (Oxford Paperback Encyclopedia, 1998)
