Linguistics
|
|
|
As a field of study, linguistics explores and attempts to explain our ability to use language. Language is our most fundamentally human capacity, yet represents the most intricate set of behavior patterns that humans exhibit. The exploration of language cuts across every domain. The disciplines that linguistics interacts the most fruitfully with include cognitive psychology, sociology, anthropology, computational sciences and logic, communication and law, but there are also connections with the natural sciences studying neurology, acoustics, and perception.
As a result of its diversity, linguistics offers exciting fields of study for a wide range of students, with varied inclinations and backgrounds. It offers opportunities to conduct original research: the data of the language are around us all the time, in the dorm, on TV., at the next party. The Linguistics Department has a phonetics laboratory which students use for more carefully controlled studies. And given the relative youth of the discipline, there still exist many unexplored areas and problems that invite adventurous minds.
