<span><span>In conjunction with our institutional partners, the Department
of Linguistics at Northwestern University invites applications for
fully funded graduate fellowships in linguistics and interdisciplinary
research in language.  Northwestern has a vibrant community of
researchers actively working on a wide variety of issues in language
structure and processing, utilizing a diverse range of methods and
populations.
