Linguistics
Linguistics is the discipline which explores the structure of language and its role in human affairs. Language can be thought of in a variety of ways: as something children learn, as the product of cultures and social groups, as the medium of literature, as a window on the mind. Nothing characterizes the nature of mankind more than its ability to use language.
Linguistics is a humanistic discipline because it deals with the role of languages in human life. Because it is concerned with the systematic explanation of facts about language, it is also a science.
There are many advantages in studying linguistics. First, it is an essential part of a liberal education. It is also valuable as basic training for persons interested in teaching English, French or other languages. It is useful for translators, for work in special education or in areas of rehabilitative medicine such as audiology or speech therapy. Those interested in work with native peoples or immigrant groups in our society, or in aspects of mathematics and computer science, can also benefit from background training in linguistics. Philosophy, psychology and anthropology have all been strongly influenced by recent linguistic theory.
The Department of Linguistics offers a wide variety of courses, many without prerequisite, in the aforementioned areas. Students may combine linguistics with other disciplines or pursue full concentration or honours programs.
The Department of Linguistics is responsible for courses with codes beginning with LIN.
