Overview
The discipline of linguistics focuses on the nature of human language and how its many systems can be accounted for. The Department of Linguistics focuses on three major areas — theoretical linguistics, language variation and change, and psycholinguistics — with an emphasis on the intersections between these areas.
The core areas of research and teaching in the MA and PhD are:
-
Theoretical Linguistics (generative grammar: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics)
-
Language Variation (sociolinguistics, dialectology, language variation, language change)
-
Psycholinguistics (comprehension and production, language acquisition, both in relation to linguistic theory)
