This course continues offering the basic pillars of the field of General Linguistics. It serves a big purpose, it is, the knowledge of the bases and foundations of what underlies in the area of Linguistics, as well as all future work in the field, including the application of the description of the linguistic system; all this by means of an approach to the linguistic object, in the case of general Linguistics II, through the Theory of language (second approach in language studies).
