Language is published both in a print edition and on online platforms containing the print-edition content as well as online-only content in various special sections , including the thematic sections below:.
Teaching Linguistics is an online section of Language featuring high-quality scholarship that analyzes a pedagogical issue, introduces an innovative teaching methodology in linguistics, or reviews textbooks and pedagogical materials related to the teaching of linguistics.
Language and Public Policy , another online section of Language , features scholarship exploring and analyzing areas of public policy that benefit from the findings and methods of linguistics.
Language Revitalization and Documentation is another online section of the journal. It features research focusing on language documentation and revitalization, including reports on documentary corpora.
Beall in The Linguistics Program was established in and later renamed the Department of Linguistics in Since that time, thousands of undergraduate majors and hundreds of PhD students have become part of our world-wide community.
Today, Linguistics at the University of Michigan is widely recognized for unusual synergies and interdisciplinarity driven by innovative theoretical, experimental, and field-based research. Our faculty and graduate students are highly successful at grant-funded research and are award-winning scholars and teachers. We have distinctive strengths in speech perception and articulatory phonetics; minimalist syntax; the syntax-semantics interface; and language contact, including documentation, pidgins and creoles, and bilingualism.
We invite you to explore our website to find out more about us. Please contact us if you would like any additional information. We look forward to hearing from you! We strive to support our students and faculty on the front lines of learning and research and to steward our planet, our community, our campus. To do this, Department of Linguistics needs your support.

The LSA welcomes charitable contributions to support its various programs serving readers, students, linguists, and others with an interest in the scientific study of language. More information about the LSA may be found on its website , including resources for the general public describing a range of issues pertaining to language and linguistics. Providing advanced training in linguistics via courses and workshops offered at the biennial Linguistic Institutes, CoLang, the LSA annual meeting, and other occasional conferences and events.
These courses may be offered by the Department of Linguistics or another program or department. Each term, the Linguistics Undergraduate Program distributes a list of courses offered by other units that are approved for credit in the major in Linguistics. Majors may request that courses not on this list also count towards the required credits; these requests must be approved by the Undergraduate Program chair.
The linguistics major requires a total of 30 credits at the level or higher; at least 18 of these credits must be in Linguistics - or courses cross-listed with Linguistics. Students should consult with their advisor to ensure that their major program consists of a coherent set of courses. The interdisciplinary nature of the field of linguistics - and hence the interdisciplinary nature of the major - makes it particularly important that students are aware of the options available to them.
Required Courses. The coursework in LING , , and should be completed as soon as possible, as it is intended to ensure that all students gain a solid understanding of the nature of language and the methods currently employed in the study of language. Additional Courses. Each term, the Linguistics Undergraduate Program distributes a list of courses offered by other units that are approved for major credit in Linguistics.
See under " Major Profiles " for three organized sub-plans that are available to majors whose interests fall into one of those areas. Because the study of language is inherently interdisciplinary, a major in Linguistics can be designed to integrate very well with other academic fields. A large proportion of current linguistics majors more than half complete double majors. However, since LSA places no limit on the number of credits that may be offered jointly for both majors, this allows students to double-concentrate with substantially fewer than 60 total major credits.
Honors Plan. The Department of Linguistics offers three sub-plans within the major. These are optional: no concentrator is required to follow any sub-plan. They are offered for the benefit of those students who wish to have more structure in their major program than is provided by the default option, which comprises the four core courses plus seven electives.
Coursework in this area addresses both practical and theoretical issues. Although much of the emphasis in these courses is on teaching English as a Second Language ESL , the principles and practices studied apply to instruction in any non-native language. A sequence of coursework in this area is especially useful for students interested in teaching ESL, particularly in international settings. Students will have opportunities to meet faculty members and observe language courses in the language departments and at the English Language Institute, a principal center of second language instructional research and curriculum development.
Specific topics include, but are not limited to, linguistic theory, psycholinguistics, cognition, perception, reasoning, and formal and computational models of linguistic knowledge and processes. The sub-major focuses on the investigation both of universal aspects of human linguistic knowledge and of cognitive mechanisms that determine the observed diversity of human language.
This profile is also relevant for students who wish to pursue graduate study in linguistics; psychology; cognitive science; speech, language and hearing science; philosophy; education; computer science and artificial intelligence; and related fields.
In addition, it is of direct interest to students with applied career goals in domains that utilize the knowledge base from this track: natural language processing by computers, human computer interaction, teaching and learning languages, literacy and the diagnosis and treatment of language disorders.
