Linguistics is the scientific study of language (spoken, signed, written, etc.) and the structures of these forms of communication employ. Linguists, experts in linguistics, are interested in understanding how language(s) work(s). To do this, linguists can study a single or multiple languages to further develop the understanding of language in general and to understand traits/properties that are common to all languages or groups of languages.[1]

In their book "Situating Sustainability" Reetta Toivainen and Parker Krieg[2] refer to sustainability as "harm reduction."
