Linguistics

Linguistics focuses on one of the most fascinating human capacities: the ability to communicate using a language. How do we acquire a particular language? How do we use it in different social contexts? How do languages vary and what are the universal principles behind intricate patterns of variation? Such questions led linguists to develop a scientific approach to the study of language as a defining property of human nature.Saint MaryпПХs University offers a unique, comprehensive linguistics program. Faculty with different backgrounds and active research profiles will provide you with valuable training in all core areas of linguistics. One of the major strengths of the program is its interdisciplinary approach, which prepares students for a successful career in any area related to language teaching, documentation and analysis.
