For instance, a scientific experiment in physics, such as measuring the speed of sound through a certain media or the refractive index of water, should always yield the exact same results, irrespective of the time or place of the experiment, or the person conducting the experiment.

Linguistics uses a scientific approach to study human language without making value judgments. The unique human articulatory, auditory, and neural systems contribute to our distinct language abilities. The exercises reinforce the concept that linguistics relies on empirical observations to develop theories of language behavior, focusing on describing language use rather than prescribing it.
