National Science Foundation: Language and Linguistics

Curated by ACT

The language we use everyday reveals a great deal about who we are and where we come from. However, did you know that language is linked to psychology, biology, and other sciences? Explore the "science" of language: how the brain controls communication, how we hear and process sound patterns, how we produce words, why languages change and even become endangered, and more.
