Language studies is an academic field examining how languages work, how they're learned, and how they're used in society.
The term covers linguistics, applied linguistics, second-language acquisition, translation, and related disciplines.
Unlike studying a particular language, language studies focuses on language as a phenomenon: She's pursuing a degree in language studies with a focus on bilingualism.
