Description:
The Department of Linguistics at the University of Rochester invites applications for the Master of Arts degree in Linguistics (MA in Linguistics: theoretical and experimental linguistics; language documentation and description).
The MA program provides students with a solid foundation in all of the core areas of linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. Additional advanced courses provide depth and enrichment in one or more specific areas of linguistics:
- theoretical/formal linguistics: phonetics/phonology, syntax, semantics, formal pragmatics (McDonough, Runner, Carlson, S. Grimm);
- experimental/empirical linguistics: laboratory phonology, experimental syntax, experimental semantics and pragmatics, corpus linguistics, computational semantics (McDonough, Runner, Carlson, S. Grimm);
- language documentation and description: tools for language documentation, field methods in linguistic description (McDonough, N. Grimm, S. Grimm);
Rochester's MA in Linguistics prepares students for further work at the Ph.D. level in Linguistics or related fields, or for employment in teaching or industry.
