It surveys three core areas of linguistic anthropology: structural linguistics (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and the biological basis of language); historical linguistics (origins of language, language change, and dialect diversity); and sociocultural linguistics (the role of the cultural context in language acquisition, language and power, and language conservation and loss).
