Charles F. Hockett earned a Ph.D. He was a college professor and an author. All of these tasks were related to one thing, the study of language. Linguistics is the study of human speech including the units, nature, structure, and modification of language. Language is a system that relates sounds and gestures to meanings, something animals do not possess. (1)
Charles F. Hockett has written a book called a Course In Modern Linguistics, published in 1958. In this book he spoke of the stringing together of words and how the letters of word, such as "ouch" when strung together form a word, but when the letters O-U-C-H are by themselves, they don't have much meaning behind them. Charles Hockett also wrote in the International Journal of American Linguistics, in 1988. (2) Charles Hockett's family religion is Quaker. He has five children. Alpha was born in 1942, Asher was born in 1947, Amy Robin Rose was born in 1949, Rachel born in 1951, and Carey Beth who was born in 1953. (2)
