About this programme

Linguistics is the study of how human language is structured, acquired and used, how it changes over time and how words and constructions mean what they do in human interaction. As a student in the linguistics program, you will explore a wide variety of linguistics sub-fields: the nature of meaning, sounds and patterns of sounds, the structure of words and sentences, anatomical foundations of language, historical linguistics, the role of language in society, signed language and the relationship between language and gender.
