| | Contraction (grammar) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Both French and Italian use a form of contraction combining the article le (French masculine form of the) or la (French and Italian feminine form of the). | | | Although these can look awkward in print, they are not necessarily incorrect. | | | Outside the English contractions described above, contractions are virtually the same concept as portmanteaus. |

| | Students who combine linguistics with the study of a language have gone on to teach languages and work as translators. | | | Have you ever noticed that you can use a contraction in a sentence like "I wonder who he's meeting," but not "I wonder who he's?" In syntax you'll study the rules that explain the construction of sentences in English and other languages. | | | Linguistics is the scientific study of how human language works and what this tells us about the human mind. |
