Linguistics is a social science that studies how language associates meaning and function with forms. Language is shaped by both biological and cognitive constraints on communication. There are three main kinds of linguistic forms: sounds, words, and grammatical rules. Linguistics also examines how meaning is a unit of cognitive processing and how language balances speaker and hearer orientation under different constraints.
