Linguistics is the scientific study of human language. The focus of research and teaching in the linguistics program at Western is on theoretical and applied linguistics, bringing together an inter-faculty group of researchers for a truly interdisciplinary approach to the discipline. First-year students should take Anthropology (Introduction to Linguistics) followed by Linguistics (Linguistics: Applications and Extensions) in order to be eligible for admission to either of the Linguistics modules. For students interested in Linguistics courses as engaging electives, Linguistics is not a prerequisite but is strongly recommended.
