MALTT offers training in theoretical<br>frameworks for approaching descriptive and sociolinguistic data with a<br>special focus on how grammatical features are distributed across the world¹s<br>languages. Emphasis is given to language modeling through computational and<br>quantitative methods. As well as providing invaluable intellectual<br>preparation for doctoral studies in linguistics, the MALTT program prepares<br>students for careers in high-tech industry, text-based consultancies in law<br>and medicine, and jobs in government agencies. Students with degrees from<br>European universities are particulalrly encouraged to apply, deadline 15<br>March 2012. Please apply through the Linguistics Program at<br><a href="https://linguistics.as.uky.edu/maltt">https://linguistics.as.uky.edu/maltt</a><br><br>Various funding opportunities and graduate teaching assistantships<br>(compensation plus fee waiver) are available to qualified students.<br><br>? The MALTT degree emphasizes both linguistic theory, whose aim is to<br>increase our knowledge about the fundamental nature of human language, and<br>typology, the study of the domains of similarity among languages and the<br>dimensions and degrees of their differences<br>? Students of MALTT are trained in formal and computational methods in<br>the analysis of linguistic data, important transferable skills and fast<br>becoming a standard expectation in any program of linguistic research<br>? MALTT offers specializations in morphosyntax and sociolinguistics<br>? Students have opportunities to participate in faculty research projects<br>involving a range of languages, including K¹iche¹ Maya, Eastern Iranian,<br>Slavic, Sanskrit, Appalachian English, and others<br><br>The University of Kentucky <a href="http://www.uky.edu/">http://www.uky.edu/</a> is a public land grant<br>university dedicated to improving people's lives through excellence in<br>education, research, creative work, service and health care.
