The Department of Linguistics at Thammasat University is the oldest in
Thailand and the only to offer an undergraduate degree in linguistics
as well as a graduate degree which focusses on Thai linguistics. The
undergraduate curriculum comprises a comprehensive range of topics
both in general linguistics and in more specialised fields of
linguistics. Both theory and practical application to related
disciplines are emphasised. The Department of Linguistics publishes
the Journal of Language and Linguistics. Now in its thirteenth year,
the Journal is the only specialised linguistics publication of its
type in Thailand.
