Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Alberta invites prospective
graduate students to learn and conduct research with a vibrant team of faculty
members, graduate students and other academics in state-of-the-art research
facilities.  

Accepted graduate students are provided four years of funding for the Ph.D.

 Other support for research and conference travel, attending and hosting
disciplinary events and obtaining tools for research are also available.  The
department offers cutting-edge training in statistical techniques and various
research methodologies.  Opportunities for within-discipline and
cross-disciplinary collaboration are also available.  

The department is a major centre, both nationally and internationally, for
graduate education and research in the empirical study of human language. 

In recognition of the department’s leading position in multiple sub-areas of
linguistics, the University has made significant investments in new faculty
positions and other departmental support.  The department recently added six
new faculty members and has expanded its research laboratories and community
engagement spaces, including new or renovated facilities, strengthening the
department’s competencies in:
- infant and child language acquisition
- second language and heritage language acquisition
- language documentation
- Indigenous language sustainability
- psycholinguistics
- morpho-syntax
- semantics
- linguistic typology
- cognitive linguistics
- interfaces between linguistics and psychology
- language technology
