Undergraduate Study
The linguistics program is a cross-disciplinary program in the College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences designed to meet the needs of students
interested in various aspects of language-its structure, history,
varieties, meanings, and uses. The program includes courses in anthropology,
English, computer science, foreign languages and literatures, psychology,
and speech communication, thus providing a multi-disciplinary approach
to the study of human language.
Courses in linguistics serve as background for students interested
in any career that involves working with language, such as anthropology,
computer word processing, foreign language teaching, teaching English
both as a first and as a second language, psychology, sociology,
speech-language pathology and audiology.
In the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, courses in linguistics
can be applied as electives or as part of the group requirements.
They may also be used in a minor or in a major.
Majors in linguistics complete a minimum of 33 hours in courses
from the list below. Courses specifically required are Ling 219,
309, 371, 419, and one of the following: 420 or 498. Credit for
only one course from the following set may be applied toward the
major: 486, 487, 524, 525. To graduate with a major in linguistics,
a student must earn a C (not a C-) or better in each of the courses
taken to fulfill the minimum requirements of the program of study
in linguistics. Students who believe they have extenuating circumstances
may appeal to the chair of the supervisory committee. In addition,
majors in linguistics must show proficiency in a foreign language
equivalent to that achieved after two years of university-level
study.
Minors in linguistics are usually individually tailored to the interests
of the student, who consults with the chair of the supervisory committee
for linguistics. All minors must have a minimum of 15 credits in
linguistics, of which 6 must be in courses numbered over 300. All
programs must include Ling 219 or 309.
English proficiency requirement: The linguistics program requires
grades of C or better in each of the following: English 104; 105
(or 105H); and one of English 305, 314, or a Foreign Language 370
course.
For information about using linguistics courses in an interdisciplinary
studies major, see Liberal Arts and Sciences, Cross-Disciplinary
Studies.
Graduate Study
A graduate minor in linguistics is offered through a cooperative
agreement with the departments and programs of Anthropology, Computer
Science, English, Foreign Languages and Literatures, Psychology,
and Speech Communication. The minor permits students to investigate
a variety of aspects of linguistics, emphasizing the ability to
think about language in a systematic and disciplined way and to
apply the methods of the field to research problems in their own
disciplines.
For the master's degree, a declared minor consists of 9 credits
in linguistics including two foundation courses (511 and either
514 or 516) and one elective from the list of courses approved for
graduate credit. For the Ph.D. degree, the minor consists of 12
credits in linguistics including three foundation courses (511,
514, and 516) and one elective. It is recommended that the elective
course be taken in a department other than English. Additional courses
beyond those listed below may be used as electives. The chair of
the supervisory committee can provide information about these.
At least one member of the linguistics faculty will serve on a student's
program of study committee. A list of faculty members may be obtained
from the chair of the supervisory committee. Ph.D. candidates will
write one section of the preliminary examination on an area of linguistics.
All students in the minor are expected to attend linguistics lectures
and colloquia. Students in English with a specialization in Teaching
English as a Second Language/Linguistics are not eligible for a
graduate minor in linguistics.
Courses open for nonmajor graduate credit: 331, 352, 413, 420, 422,
425, 462, 463, 471, 498.
