Significance of the study of Linguistics The use of linguistics in education is continuing to grow, and is often cross-disciplinary in nature. Not only is it utilized by language instructors, it is also used in early childhood development, psychology and anthropology education, as well. Linguistics is not only the study of language, but also includes the evolution and historical context of language, speech and memory development. It includes the structure and meaning of speech, and of written languages as well as an understanding of the context in which certain words are used.
