This document provides an introduction to linguistics, discussing what language is, how humans uniquely use language compared to other animals, and the four main parts of language/grammar: phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. It also discusses Noam Chomsky's views on innate linguistic rules and universal grammar, how language is processed in babies, and evidence that supports the idea that aspects of grammar are innate rather than learned.
