Warren: Question about area studies

I have a couple questions about the area studies.


For Social Sciences, what exactly is the “Linguistics/General” discipline. Does it include the French language classes? (LIFR 1A etc.)
Say I have AP credit for AP US History and AP European History (and potentially Macroeconomics). For Warren, the AP credit would transfer as 1 course toward AS. My question is, does that only count if I choose to take that particular AS? Like, say i don’t actually want to take history as one of my Area Studies and I take music instead. Would my AP credit for those history classes still exempt me from 2 (out of the 6) required AS courses?
Last note, would it be hard to take French as my “Foreign Language & Culture” Area Study (for humanities/fine arts)? The latter document says that it’d be hard to find 2 upper division classes for French


If you are wondering, I got most of this information from http://warren.ucsd.edu/_files/academic-forms/advising_guide.pdf

Please and thank you :)
