Title: Article: Introduction to Italian Linguistics
Body: From http://italian.about.com/od/linguistics/a/aa071107a.htm?nl=1 Introduction to Italian Linguistics: Italian Linguistics Made Easy From Britten Milliman Linguistics—the study of human languages—has gotten a bad rap among many people because the term has often been identified with a limited number of topics, particularly grammar, which many people hate.
