The Department of Linguistics offers degree programs leading to either an MSc or a PhD in Linguistics. In addition to classes in the traditional core subjects of theoretical and descriptive linguistics, we also provide training in areas such as quantitative analysis and experimental design. A key component of our graduate programs is the direct involvement of students with on-going research projects in areas of faculty expertise such as:psycholinguisticsexperimental phonetics/phonologychild language acquisitionfield linguistics (especially of the indigenous languages of the Americas)corpus linguisticssociolinguistics
