What do you think of when you hear the word “fish”? Do you think of a specific fish species, such as perch, pike or salmon, or merely of a creature that looks like a fish? If different languages, such as English, German and Swedish, were various fish species, linguistics would be an abstract fish through which one can examine the characteristics common to all fish species.
