Linguistics,BA

About the course This major aims to give you the broadest possible grounding in contemporary linguistics and enables you to specialise in your areas of interest. This major includes both fascinating theoretical research and practical field-orientated projects. You'll have the opportunity to work on a variety of linguistic topics including grammatical descriptions and dictionaries of Australian Aboriginal languages, analysis of Australian English and Romance languages, the study of meaning in language and the relation between language and society. You do not need to know a second language or 'be good at languages' to excel in Linguistics. Many excellent linguists speak only one language; all you need is a healthy curiosity.
