    Linguistics

    About

    Overview Special attention is given to how language structures are shaped over time by cognition, culture, and use, and how these structures are in turn utilized in communication and social interaction. The department emphasizes a discourse-based and socially grounded approach; we offer graduate students an opportunity to explore the nature and function of language both theoretically and empirically. Students in the Linguistics program at the University of California, Santa Barbara are encouraged to gain breadth and depth in their understanding of language by becoming acquainted with a variety of structures in a wide range of languages. Such a perspective is essential to an appreciation of the deeper characteristics that all languages share and the myriad ways they can differ. I want to find another Master Course Recognizing the value of complementary methodologies for the analysis of linguistic data, the department offers a number of courses in different types of data collection and analysis. In the intensive, year-long course in field methods, students learn to uncover the structure of a lesser-known language by working directly with speakers. Courses in discourse transcription, ethnographic and video-based methodologies, and quantitative, computational, and corpus-based analysis provide students with a diverse range of skills for the empirical analysis of language.
    The graduate program of the University of California, Santa Barbara Department of Linguistics focuses on the discovery of general, theoretically significant explanations for the range of linguistic structures that appear in the world's languages.
