A Note from the Chair:
************************************************************************

Dear prospective graduate student,

It's my pleasure, as chair of Stanford's Department of Linguistics, to
invite you to apply for graduate study in our PhD program. We have one
of the broadest and most exciting programs available anywhere,
covering almost every imaginable area of specialization, as you can
see from the research areas listed in the descriptions below.

We provide accepted PhD students with a comprehensive funding package,
so they can concentrate on linguistics, not on making ends
meet. Furthermore, our students are able to get involved in a wide
range of research projects both in the university and in local
industry. By the time our PhD students graduate, they typically have
an impressive list of publications and conference presentations, and
we have an outstanding track record of post-PhD placement. Finally,
Stanford is one of the most beautiful campus locations you could wish
for. I urge you to check out our Web page
(http://www-linguistics.stanford.edu/) and to contact us
<linguistics at csli.stanford.edu> as soon as possible for more
information about programs and admission. We look forward to hearing
from you.

                                               Stanley Peters
