Overview

Linguistics is the study of language and communication. It deals with the exploration of particular languages and the search for general properties common to all languages or large groups of languages.

In this Linguistics - General Linguistics Emphasis offered at The University of Arizona, students complete coursework in the basics of linguistics, such as phonetics (sound patterns), morphology (how words are built) and syntax (sentence structure), as well as how humans use language, such as pragmatics (language in context) and sociolinguistics (language and culture).

The renowned faculty includes preeminent linguist Noam Chomsky. Students graduate prepared for an array of professions, from journalism and publishing to international business.
