Welcome to Linguistics
Linguistics is the study of language: old, new, everyday, special, spoken, or written language. Are you curious about how children acquire language? About how adults learn a second language? About how you can inadvertently insult people by what you say? What is the best way to learn a new language? Linguists are interested in questions such as these.
The original goal of the Linguistics Program was to train graduate students in Descriptive Linguistics, Linguistic Theory, Psycholinguistics, Experimental Phonetics, Teaching English as a Second Language, and Historical Linguistics. We remain strong in these areas and have added courses in Discourse Analysis, Semantics, Sociolinguistics, Second Language Acquisition and Neurolinguistics. Graduate students are encouraged to pursue their interdisciplinary interests.
We offer the Ph.D., M.A. (both thesis and non-thesis), B.A., and two undergraduate minors (the Linguistics minor and the TESL minor). TESL Certificates are also offered at the M.A. levels.
