Linguistic notation

Linguistic notation is a specialized way of writing and symbolizing aspects of language, such as sounds, words, or sentence structure, using standardized symbols and rules. It helps linguists analyze and describe how languages work. For example, phonetic symbols represent specific speech sounds, while grammatical diagrams show sentence structure. This notation allows precise communication among researchers and a clearer understanding of language patterns across different languages. Essentially, it's a universal "language" for describing and studying the complexities of human language systematically.
