sociolinguistics, as well as historical and anthropological linguistics.
The research of two of the fourteen faculty members focus primarily on
sign languages. Their areas of interest are sign language phonology and
syntax using a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives.

The program grants degrees at the Masters and Doctoral levels. Funding
