Faculty
Our faculty members are internationally recognized for their research expertise in many areas, including bilingualism and multilingualism, computational linguistics, endangered languages, first language acquisition, historical linguistics, linguistic typology, morphology, neurolinguistics, phonetics and laboratory phonology, phonology, psycholinguistics, second language acquisition, semantics, sentence processing, sociolinguistics, and syntax.
A number of Linguistics faculty also hold joint appointments in other programs, including Anthropology, Computer Science, Latin American, Iberian, and Latino Cultures, Philosophy, Psychology, and Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences.
Professors will find our Mentoring Guidelines.docx most helpful when mentoring/advising students.
