Linguistics draws its faculty from ten participating departments: African and Asian Languages and Liter- atures, Anthropology; Classics, English, Electrical En- gineering, Germanic and Slavic Languages and Liter- atures, Humanities, Philosophy, Romance Languages and Literatures, and Speech. It offers a flexible pro- gram of study leading to the Ph.D. with a major in lin- guistics and two specializations at the M.A. level: (1) general linguistics, and (2) teaching English as a sec- ond language (TESL). Individualized doctoral programs may emphasize syntax, phonology, and linguistic change as either theoretical or descriptive constructs of one or more languages. A student may also work in any of the areas represented by the competence of the faculty. Entering graduate students with deficiencies in general linguistics, structure of English, phonetics and phonemics must fulfill these prerequisites to graduate work. Students pursuing graduate degrees will be able to supplement the courses listed below with per- tinent courses of linguistic content offered through related departments. For detailed information on re- quirements as well as opportunities for teaching and research assistantships or fellowships through Lin- guistics, please contact the Director, Program in Lin- guistics, 162 Grinter Hall.
