Program in Linguistics
Linguistics is the scientific study of human language. Investigation in phonology, syntax, and semantics/pragmatics seeks to determine general principles governing the structure of human language and the parameters which determine degree and manner of variation across languages. These core areas of language structure constitute the foundation for other subfields of linguistics, including psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, and computational linguistics.
The Program in Linguistics offers courses of study leading to Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees.
