Introduction

The Department of Linguistics offers a B.A. major and minor in Linguistics; a B.S. major in Signed Language Interpreting; a minor in Navajo Language and Linguistics; an M.A. and Ph.D. in Linguistics; and contributes to linguistics-related degree programs in other departments and colleges. The Department offers a range of courses in the core areas of phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics, and discourse as well as in the interdisciplinary fields of applied linguistics, psycholinguistics, and sociolinguistics. The Department has a theoretical orientation based in functional and cognitive approaches and has teaching and research strengths in the areas of signed language, typology, language evolution, sociocultural and interactional studies, Native American languages, discourse analysis, and experimental inquiry. In addition, the Department offers programs of study in linguistics with concentrations in Speech and Hearing Sciences, and Native American Languages of the Southwest. The faculty also participates in the Ph.D. program in Educational Linguistics, sponsored jointly by the Department of Linguistics and the College of Education’s Department of Language, Literacy and Sociocultural Studies. The program in Educational Linguistics focuses on issues in bilingual and multicultural education and in second language learning and pedagogy.
