Linguists explore a range of fascinating areas including how language is represented and processed in the brain, the role of language in human-computer interfaces and artificial intelligence, clinical applications of linguistics in treating language disorders and delays, how children acquire language, the psychology of language, and the biological and evolutionary aspects of language. We also offer a concentration in Psycholinguistics and Communication Differences. Qualified students in the concentration can take a practicum course to gain work experience in speech-language pathology. A Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics is also available.
