Emory's Program in Linguistics represents the contemporary field of linguistics as it is situated at the intersection of the human-ities, social sciences, and sciences. Our central mission is to promote wider understanding of the centrality of language to the human condition, to foster an intellectual climate for cutting-edge interdisciplinary research on language, and to introduce students to the scientific and critical study of human language and communication.

Our primary areas of research and teaching include:

  • description and analysis of linguistic structure and use
  • relations between language and the mind/brain
  • first and second language acquisition/literacy
  • relations between language, society and culture
  • causes and consequences of language change, contact and variation
  • role of linguistic evidence and communicative practices in scientific and humanistic research
In these overlapping areas of research and in our curriculum, we explore language as a physiological, psychological, social, cultural and political phenomenon. Given the multifaceted nature of language and the questions pertaining to it, we incorporate a diversity of modes of inquiry in our research and teaching. At the undergraduate level, we prepare students for graduate or professional study in a variety of fields, and, more generally, to meet the challenges of our multicultural society and ever more globalized world.
