在这里学什么？

Language is a uniquely human capacity that enables us to communicate a limitless set of messages on any topic. While human languages can differ greatly in certain respects, all are intricate, complex, rule-governed systems.

Linguistics is the scientific study of these systems, their use in communicative and other social settings, and their cognitive and neural underpinnings. The linguistics concentration at Brown gives students a background in the "core" aspects of the language system: phonetics/phonology (the study of speech sounds and their patterning), syntax (the study of combinatorics of words, phrases, and sentences), and semantics/pragmatics (the study of the meanings of words, sentences, and conversation). Beyond this, students may focus more heavily in one or more of these areas and/or explore related questions such as how children and adults learn language (language acquisition), how utterances are produced and understood in real time (psycholinguistics), or how speaking and understanding are anchored in underlying neural systems (neurolinguistics). Other areas such as historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, philosophy of language, and linguistic anthropology can also be pursued in conjunction with offerings in other departments.

Student Goals

Students in this concentration will:

Develop fluency in the core areas concerned with the structure of language (phonetics, phonology, syntax, and semantics)

Gain a sense of the intricacies of natural language systems, including a sense of the ways in which different languages can vary and the ways in which they are similar

Gain some understanding of topics in psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics, such as the acquisition, comprehension and production of language and language and the brain

Gain an understanding of the relation between linguistic theory and other aspects of language such as those above or language change, sociolinguistics, computational linguistics, or other areas illuminated by an understanding of language structure

Get practice in problem solving and analyzing complex data from natural languages
