You see there are some many fields that are associated with linguistics in general. You could study just one of those fields and just have general knowledge about all of them . Language could be of course approached from a variety of directions, and a number of other intellectual disciplines are relevant to it and influence its study. To name one there is Semiotics, for example, which is a related field concerned with the general study of signs and symbols both in language and outside of it.

Hello Kathy, If what you mean is studying " linguistics" not "languages" here are some references: Linguistics is the scientific study of natural language .Linguistics encompasses a number of sub-fields. An important topical division is between the study of language structure (grammar) and the study of meaning (semantics and pragmatics). Grammar encompasses morphology (the formation and composition of words), syntax (the rules that determine how words combine into phrases and sentences) and phonology (the study of sound systems and abstract sound units). Phonetics is a related branch of linguistics concerned with the actual properties of speech sounds (phones), non-speech sounds, and how they are produced and perceived. Other sub-disciplines of linguistics include the following: evolutionary linguistics, which considers the origins of language; historical linguistics, which explores language change; sociolinguistics, which looks at the relation between linguistic variation and social structures; psycholinguistics, which explores the representation and functioning of language in the mind; neurolinguistics, which looks at the representation of language in the brain; language acquisition, which considers how children acquire their first language and how children and adults acquire and learn their second and subsequent languages.
