Linguistics Undergraduate Program
Why Linguistics?
Linguistics is the scientific study of how human language works and is used. We ask questions like...
- How do we best describe how language works?
- How are human languages similar, and why are they so different?
- How does language work in the mind?
- How does language learning work for kids and adults?
- What's the role of language in society?
- How do languages change over time?
