 Institution/Organization: The University of Texas at Austin 
Department: French and Italian

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics 
 
Required Language(s): French (fra)

Description:

 The Department of French and Italian offers a Ph.D. program in French with
concentration in either French Studies or French Linguistics. 

Graduate students within French Linguistics gain a strong background in
linguistics that enables them to conduct extensive empirical research on the
French language and work with one or more of our four core faculty members:
Carl Blyth, David Birdsong, Barbara E. Bullock, and Cinzia Russi. Areas of
specialization within the Department include historical linguistics and
language change, sociolinguistics, bilingualism, language contact,
dialectology, second language acquisition, and language production, perception
and processing. The program, which aims to train future French linguistics who
intend to pursue a career in academic research and teaching, benefits from
strong links with the departments of Linguistics, Anthropology, Psychology,
Education, Spanish and Portuguese, German, Middle Eastern Studies, and
Communication Sciences. Students gain a strong comprehensive background in
both applied and theoretical linguistics and are also invited to complete
interdisciplinary portfolios in area studies such as Romance Linguistics and
Language Teaching and Program Coordination. 
 
Financial Support
The Department of French and Italian is home to the generous Julia Emerson
Walther endowment. Outstanding students in French Studies and French
Linguistics that are admitted to our doctoral program qualify for our Walther
scholarships offering highly competitive stipends and funding for professional
development, summer research, and extensive study in a francophone country. We
also provide financial assistance and pedagogical training in the form of
teaching assistantships and assistant instructorships. Students can normally
expect support for up to six years.
 
Campus Resources
The UT-Austin campus includes exceptional library and computer facilities in
the humanities. The Harry Ransom Center (HRC) houses an internationally
recognized collection of rare books, including manuscripts and ephemera from
medieval texts, as well as papers of contemporary writers; the Carlton Lake
Collection at the HRC is one of the finest research collections of modern
French materials in the world. The Blanton Museum of Art, located on the
University campus, has a world-renowned assemblage of European and Latin
American art, with particular strength in French printmaking of the 17th,
18th, and 19th centuries.  Founded in 1961 at UT-Austin, the Linguistics
Research Center (LRC) provides linguistic resources for specialists and
non-specialists alike. UT the Center for Open Educational Resources & Language
Learning (COERLL) is one of 16 National Foreign Language Resource Centers
(LRC's) funded by the U.S. Department of Education with the overall mission to
improve the teaching and learning of foreign languages by producing and
disseminating Open Educational Resources (OERs) that can be profitably
employed in a variety of settings.

year, the GRE is not required for those applying to the French PhD program due
