The interdisciplinary field of Linguistics is concerned with the study of language from a scientific perspective. Linguists look for patterns both within individual languages and across many languages in order to describe how language works, hypothesize how it is represented in the mind, and analyze how it is used in society. Courses in the Linguistics Concentration investigate the core aspects of human language, including the physical properties and structure of sounds (phonetics and phonology), words (morphology), and sentences (syntax). In addition to the study of these core areas of structure, elective courses in the Departments of Anthropology, Classics, Computer Science, Education, English, Philosophy, Psychology, Spanish and other foreign languages offer various perspectives on different aspects of language and its uses. Some knowledge of a nonnative language is required. The capstone experience for students in the concentration will either be a research seminar in Linguistics, or an Independent Study or a MAP, which are expected to build on some past work in the student’s program. A public presentation will be required for students choosing MAPs.
