Overview

To study the Linguistics program at University of Maryland we pursue various sources of evidence. Among them are the grammars of individual languages; patterns of grammatical variation across languages; the development, normal and abnormal, of language in children; the mental processing of language in use; and the embodiment of language in the brain.

The programme

But all these perspectives converge on a single natural object, the human language faculty, whose study unifies the work at Maryland Linguistics.

The department welcomes undergraduate participation in faculty research. This kind of research experience is especially valuable for students planning to go to graduate school. The participation can also lead to a departmental honors project for linguistics majors.
