AS REPORTEDno primary record reached; this is what the reporting says
Is it true that linguistics is the same thing as language-learning?
No. Linguistics is the scientific and structural study of language, whereas language-learning refers to the process of acquiring proficiency in speaking and understanding a language. They are fundamentally different fields and activities.
