Minor Advisor: Margaret J. Antonisse, Ph.D.
The minor in linguistics will introduce students to key concepts that form the basis of modern generative linguistics. Students are introduced to the different sub-areas of linguistics in two introductory courses. Two more advanced courses in syntax and in phonology build on this foundation. One 3xx-4xx level linguistics elective completes the minor. The minor in linguistics will be of relevance to students majoring in Languages, English, Psychology, Philosophy, Education and Computer Science.
