Linguistics
Linguistics is the scientific study of language, and involves an analysis of language form, language meaning, and language in context. The earliest activities in the documentation and description of language have been attributed to the 6th century BC Indian grammarian Pāṇini, who wrote a formal description of the Sanskrit language in his Aṣṭādhyāyī.

A Babylonish dialect
Which learned pedants much affect.

* * * Philologists, who chase
A panting syllable through time and space
Start it at home, and hunt it in the dark,
To Gaul, to Greece, and into Noah's Ark.
William Cowper, Retirement, line 691.
Wind is, together with photovoltaic power systems, the most important renewable energy source. New floating offshore wind energy technology as in DEEPWIND, tackling the challenge of deep-sea installations, could significantly enhance uptake and have major impact on emissions reductions.
