I prefer to take linguistic because actually I don't really like to read. Specially read a novel and poetry is complicated for me. My favourite subject in literature is just drama. What is the differences between those three studies.? Let me explain. Linguistic is study about the real language and literature is study about yeah the literature. So we can compare like in high between science and social, the linguistic is science and literature is social. Basic Linguistic subjects are Phonetic, concerned with speech sounds and how the sounds are produced perceived. Phonology, a phonologist are interested in the patterning or systematic relationships of speech sounds in human language. Morphology, is the study of how words are formed out of smaller units. Syntax, the study of the way in which phrases and sentences are structured out of words. And Semantic, the story of meaning.
Basic Literature subjects are Drama, Prose, and Poetry. And Culture Studies is about humanism and cultures.
Yeah if you decide to study in English Department just enjoy it but still work hard. Whatever your study don't be lazy and don't give up. Keep Spirit have Pass Soon.
