Linguistics and sustainability

The linguistics circle is commonly used to visualize units of language used as the basis of study in the discipline.

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.

Sustainability, in the broadest sense, ⁣ refers to the ability to maintain or support systems or processes in a way that allows continuity over time. Traditionally, when referring to sustainability, one considers the economic, social and environmental that make up the three pilars of sustainability. Reetta Toivainen and Parker Krieg refer to sustainability as "harm reduction".
