well as a graduate degree which focusses on Thai linguistics. The
undergraduate curriculum comprises a comprehensive range of topics both in
general linguistics and in more specialised fields of linguistics. Both
theory and practical application to related disciplines are
emphasised. The Department of Linguistics publishes the Journal of
Language and Linguistics. Now in its thirteenth year, the Journal is the
only specialized linguistics publication of its type in Thailand.
