Communication Sciences and Disorders
Linguistics
Undergraduate Major Program in Linguistics
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The undergraduate track in linguistics provides students with an education in the formal analysis of the structure of language within the broader context of human communication supplied by the departmental core. In addition to the central skills of syntactic, phonological, and pragmatic analysis, students gain an understanding of the major issues and results in experimental phonetics and language acquisition. Through selection of appropriate departmental and extradepartmental electives, students may also include study in philosophy of language, language disorder, logic, semantics, language history, linguistic anthropology, and the psychology of language. The curriculum is completed with a one-semester course in fieldwork in which students must apply their knowledge of linguistics in a project concerning the structure or use of language. Completion of the linguistics track is an appropriate preparation for graduate study in linguistics, psycholinguistics, and the teaching of English as a second language.
For further information, please contact the department office at 204-7543 or the director of the linguistics track, Gary Milsark, at 204-1875 or gmilsark@temple.edu.
