The ability to communicate through language is a fundamental part of being human. The linguistics minor allows students first to learn about the human capacity for language through the lens of linguistic models. Further connections are made by giving students freedom to draw on the theories and methodologies of related disciplines such as psychology, speech and hearing sciences, theatre, and the languages of the world. Students in the linguistics minor will investigate theoretical and applied approaches to the structure, variation, history, and social functions of human language.
