German linguistics

German linguistics is the scientific study of the German language, including its structure, history, and variation. It explores how German sounds (phonetics), words (morphology), sentences (syntax), and meanings (semantics) work together. It also examines dialects, regional differences, and how the language has evolved over centuries. Scholars analyze written texts and spoken language to understand patterns, influences from other languages, and changes over time. This field helps us better understand German communication, culture, and its connection to other languages in the Germanic family.
