Linguistics
Linguistics is an interdisciplinary program combining resources from English,
anthropology, psychology, philosophy, computer science, and the foreign
languages, to develop an understanding of the nature and implications of human
language. The Linguistics program provides solid foundations in phonological and
grammatical analysis, as well as opportunities to investigate the social,
cultural, psychological, and physical aspects of language use.
