GR <p>The PhD in linguistics trains students in the science of language. Students become specialists in the core areas of linguistics-- phonology, syntax, and semantics --and learn to integrate this core with the study of second language acquisition. This 72-credit degree program prepares students for positions in academia, industry, and government working in a host of organizations that are concerned with language and second language acquisition. They might be research and teaching professors, administrators of language-learning programs, or consultants in computational linguistic research.</p> 2009-04-08 2010 <p>Linguistics Program<br /> Department of English<br /> Robinson Hall A475<br /> 703-993-1160<br /><a href="mailto:englgrad@gmu.edu">englgrad@gmu.edu</a></p> 2009-04-08T19:05:10Z false PhD 125 English ENGL http://english.gmu.edu/ Linguistics 2009-04-08 2009-04-08 Doctor of Philosophy 249 <p><a href="http://linguistics.gmu.edu">Linguistics Web Site</a></p> <p><a href="http://chss.gmu.edu/system/file_attachments/330/original/linguistics.pdf">Information sheet</a></p> LA-PHD-LING Graduate <p>To receive the PhD, students are must complete a minimum of 72 credits of course work, of which no more than 24 credits may be in LING 998/999.
