The Minor in Linguistics is for those seeking to deepen their understanding of language by examining how it is represented, used, and processed. Our faculty work toward this goal through research and teaching in theoretical linguistics, focusing on phonology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and psycholinguistics as well as the interfaces among these domains of inquiry. In order to explore questions in these areas, we use multiple methods, including field methods, corpus-based methods, and experimental research methods.
