"Linguistics was previously called by the name of philology and was considered to be the analysis and development of a language. Linguists are now experimenting on making languages easier for the learners and for making them useable properly by the learners. It is now considered that if a sound basis of a language is made by a student then he can be proficient in other social sciences and humanities also. With the development of linguistics the teaching and learning of languages has acquired a new status and importance." (jacket)
